Coastal Glamour and Rustic Allure: Adelman Discoveries’ 10-Day Riviera Adventure Written By Emily Hunter
W elcome to the adventure of a lifetime - a 10- day sojourn across the sensational Italian and French Rivieras. From October 17th-26th, 2024, savor an exclusive escape curated by luxury tour operator Adelman Discoveries to the coastal paradises of Alba, Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo and more. Our story begins in Alba, Italy - Medford, Oregon’s beloved Sister City since 1960. Like Medford, Alba boasts scenic landscapes, an agricultural economy and superb wine. But Alba’s claim to fame shines brightest in October, when the
city hosts the world-famous International White Truffle Festival. For decades, Belle Voyages founder Jean Provost has cultivated friendships with Alba’s truffle hunters, chefs and winemakers. An October pilgrimage to Alba has become a signature for Jean’s guests, who are treated like locals among the bustling marketplace of truffle dealers. You’ll indulge in white diamonds from the city’s freshest harvest, infused in pasta, risotto and more. It’s the ultimate insider access - a culinary spectacle limited to just 30 travelers on Belle Voyages’ exclusive festival tour.
Alba also offers the chance to rediscover Medford’s heritage. As Sister Cities for over 60 years, the towns share many heartfelt connections. On a guided walking tour, reflect on the Italian origins of Southern Oregon’s landscapes and culture. Medford’s founders likely passed through the same arched passages and piazzas that still support Alba’s slow food movement today.
