Where do five wine lovers escape with five little kids in tow? Mamma mia, where else but The Boot! An summer filled with sun-drenched vineyards, truffle hunts, and pasta-making mischief... that’s a recipe for la dolce vita. 🍷

Kicking off in and gallivanting about before winding up north in the region, this multi-generational getaway had something for everyone – the little ones unleashed their energy at adventure parks, everyone crafted marbled paper and making pizza together, and the grown-ups indulged in world-class wines and private cellar-door visits at GAJA, personally hosted by the legendary winemaking family.

With a dedicated chauffeur taking care of the driving and the kids whisked away for their own age-appropriate fun, the adults sipped, savoured, and—rumour has it—left with far more ‘souvenirs’ than planned. And it wasn’t just the Barolo and Barbaresco that proved irresistible… A behind-the-scenes tour at one of the world’s finest chocolate producers led to yet another deliciously indulgent dilemma.
