The route “From Milan to the French Riviera”
By Gian Piero Vivalda / Owner and chef of Antica Corona Reale

The border between Northern Italy and Southern France is a sweet illusion! Although the language changes from one country to another, in both of them the same pleasure for high-quality products is cultivated. From Lombardy to the French Riviera, the landscapes gradually get divided between vineyards and olive groves, orchards and gardens. This trip holds incredible tasting opportunities, imagined for gourmands and epicureans, for those who love truffles, vegetables, the warmth of the sun, fish, and amazing wines…
