Our planned 13 day trip to Piemonte this October has had to be cancelled (for happy reasons), and we have decided to re-schedule for spring 2024. Our past trips there have always been in the autumn, ranging from the middle of September to the beginning of November. Harvest time is a great season to be there.
So now we're a bit in terra incognita, not knowing what to expect, especially concerning weather. I'd love to go in May and catch the flowering of wild orchids and other spring flowers, but from what I understand May can be quite rainy, and we love being outdoors all day. So a high priority is as many days as possible with weather that enables us to enjoy the scenery. Daily highs of anywhere between 15 and 25 C. would be ideal, but we can deal with colder days as well.
It seems that the last two weeks of April might be a good time. But I'd be willing to consider March as well. The area I'm referring to covers Torino-Pinerolo-and the Alta Langa, more or less.
Would be interested to hear impressions from those who have been there in one of these months, concerning weather, seasonal events, seasonal produce in the markets, and whatever might be special about each month in that area. Thanks!
