What to expect
Truffle hunting takes place in the enchanting natural setting of the Langhe woods, with the trifulau and his dogs.
After a short introductory lesson on truffles (development and growth of truffles and truffle plants, anecdotes and curiosities about the world of truffle, role of the trifulau and training of truffle dogs), you are ready to venture into the woods and begin your Alba truffle hunting experience!
At the end, a small food and wine break in the woods awaits you! You will enjoy a typical “merenda disnoira” or “merenda sinoira” snack based on:
- Piedmontese delicacies – Piedmontese cheese, bread and salami, hazelnuts, or omelettes, tomini, depending on the season
- 1 bottle of wine (for every 4 people)

The Food Expert:
My story is the story of a passion handed down from my grandfather. When I was a child, I used to go with him to find this strange mushroom, which did not yet have the celebrity it has today. I didn’t really know what Alba truffle was, what the smell meant, but I loved going out with my grandfather and his dog and breathing in the scent of the woods.
I liked it so much that I wanted to take up the tradition of white Alba truffle hunting, a centuries-old tradition in the Langa (UNESCO World Heritage Site, with Roero and Monferrato).
