Private Black Truffle Hunting: Discover Nature’s Hidden Treasure with a Tasting of Local Delicacies
A local trifolao, a skilled truffle hunter, will welcome you and guide you through an immersive outdoor experience dedicated to the fascinating world of truffles. Your adventure begins with a brief introduction to truffle culture, including insights into the local landscape and the unique environment where these underground treasures grow. Then, you'll head into the nearby valley alongside the trifolao and his trained dogs for a hands-on search for black truffles, depending on the season: winter black truffle, summer truffle, or bianchetto. As the dogs work through the forest, you'll witness the special bond between hunter and dog and learn about traditional techniques passed down for generations.

After the search, you’ll enjoy a delightful tasting of local delicacies that showcase the prized truffle. Sample Robiola d’Alba with black or white truffle, crostini with black truffle butter, and artisanal salami, along with other regional specialties such as Toma Piemontese with acacia honey and saffron. To complement the flavors, you'll sip on Nebbiolo wine and enjoy water, a true celebration of local cuisine. Surrounded by nature, rich scents, and the thrill of discovery, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for this rare delicacy and the land that produces it, an unforgettable experience for food lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
