The Black Truffle Trail Private Tour and Trufflehunting: From Forest to Feast

Explore ancient woods, uncover nature’s treasures, and savor authentic Piedmontese cuisine

Embark on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Roero countryside, where nature, tradition, and fine cuisine come together in a unique experience.

Your truffle adventure begins as your private driver collects you from Alba, guiding you through the picturesque countryside towards the heart of the region. Founded in 2013, this small, family-run business was born from a love for the land and its rich, untamed beauty. Nestled among ancient woodlands and rolling hills, the farm invites you to explore one of the most precious secrets of the region: the truffle.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our expert “trifolao” and their loyal truffle dogs. The private tour starts with a brief introduction to the fascinating world of truffles from the different varieties (black, white, and bianchetto) to the traditional techniques of truffle hunting, including how the dogs are trained and the rules of sustainable foraging.

Then, the adventure takes you into our private truffle grounds. The tour can be tailored to suit all ages and activity levels. Whether you prefer a relaxed stroll or a more challenging woodland hike, you'll be offered a variety of routes that let everyone enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

With a bit of luck and the sharp noses of lovable four-legged friends, you’ll witness the excitement of unearthing these aromatic treasures hidden beneath the forest floor.

A Taste of Piedmont

After the hunt, it’s time to indulge in the fruits of your morning's efforts with a delicious lunch or aperitif-tasting, highlighting the truffles you’ve just discovered. Enjoy a menu of seasonal Piedmontese specialties, crafted with fresh, organic ingredients from our farm paired with local Nebbiolo wine.

After lunch, your driver will escort you back to Alba. Whether you're a couple, a group of friends, or a family with children, you'll be treated to an authentic, warm, and personalized experience that reflects the family's passion for nature, the magic of truffle hunting, and tasty taditional food.
