Saturday for our Easter Sunday feast, but little time to explore along the way. It was me, my wife Catherine and our three sons (2, 3 and 8 years old) <a href=\"https:\/\/driving-dad.com\/about\/\"><u>https:\/\/driving-dad.com\/about\/<\/u><\/a> packed into the car for one of our longest road trips yet. The journey ahead of us was approximately 17 hours of driving time and 1,700 kilometres. Sound tempting? Barring necessary (and I do mean necessary) bathroom breaks, uncontained car sickness or fuel shortage, we tend to drive in 5 to 6 hour legs.\u00a0 Our first leg was from London to Burgundy (approximately 7 hours including the<a href=\"https:\/\/driving-dad.com\/2016\/11\/04\/navigating-the-eurotunnel-a-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Eurotunnel crossing <\/a>) where we would overnight.

Early Friday morning we loaded up with food from the local farmer\u2019s market for breakfast on the go &#8211; <em>pains au chocolat<\/em>, baguettes and local cheese &#8211; and were on our way. We crossed from France into Italy through the Frejus tunnel around mid-morning; the snow-covered mountains offering a dramatic welcome to this part of Piedmont.\u00a0 We passed the exit for the ski resort of Bardonecchia, which hosted the snowboarding events at the 2006 Winter Olympics and was the site of one of the Olympic villages.\u00a0 In addition to skiing and other winter sports, this area of Piedmont, and the <em>Val di Susa<\/em> in particular, is popular in summer because of its scenic hiking trails\u2026at least that\u2019s what I had been told. Driving Dad is not Hiking Dad mainly because any extended walk inevitably involves me carrying at least one of our sons and more whining than even the most tolerant father (not me) can handle. Thus, I contentedly admired the passing scenery from behind the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\"

the kids, the sugar rush from the last of the <em>pains au chocolat<\/em> was fading and the iPads were running out of battery, we made it to the village of Barbaresco. \u00a0I had chosen Barbaresco <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">because I knew the kids would appreciate the history of the town<\/span> because there is wine there.\u00a0 And not just any wine, but very good wine.\u00a0 <strong>Barbaresco<\/strong>, still slightly less famous than it\u2019s more popular neighbour <strong>Barolo<\/strong>, is one of the top Italian wines (it received its DOCG (<em>denominazione di origine controllata e garantita<\/em>) status in 1980) and \u201ccoincidentally\u201d one of my favourites.\u00a0For the previous two hours, I had spoken glowingly about the town, the vineyards and the food, to a captive audience that clearly lacked my enthusiasm or, indeed, any interest whatsoever.\u00a0 However, I managed to entice the kids out of the car with promises of extra-large gelatos to anyone who didn\u2019t complain for the following 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

minute walk from where we parked. I would like to say I chose this place after extensive internet research and cross comparison to other nearby wineries, but in truth it was the first winery we passed. Typically, I would explore a new town a bit more before choosing the most appealing eating or drinking venue, but after a 5.5 hour drive I would have gladly stopped for a tasting of Boone\u2019s Farm.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Would you like to taste the Barbaresco, the Barbera D\u2019Alba or the Dolcetta D\u2019Alba<\/em>\u201d asked our waiter after seating us.\u00a0 \u201c<em>Yes<\/em>\u201d I replied, dramatically handing the car keys to Catherine. As it turned out, Cantina Boffa was a great location with impressive wine.\u00a0 Two hours before we were surrounded by snowy mountains and here we were sitting outside in just our sweaters, enjoying wine, cheese and sweeping views over the vineyards below us.\u00a0 The kids unleashed 5 hours of pent up energy by scootering up and down the somewhat steep driveway leading to the cantina. Kids happy, parents happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"6258\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/os-inspirations\/feature\/pit-stop-in-piedmont\/attachment\/piedmont-os5\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1512,1890\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"piedmont-os5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-819x1024.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-819x1024.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ristorante Rabaya\" class=\"wp-image-6258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-16x20.jpg 16w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piedmont-OS5.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption>Ristorante Rabaya<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Rejuvenated by the wine tasting and a moment of relative peace, it was time to eat.
