Truffle hunting near Alba
Depart from central Turin and drive to the Langhe and Roero hills where the white truffle of Alba and the black summer truffles grow.
After a 40-45 minutes drive, meet the truffle hunter and the dog and follow them in a walk in the wood learning about trees, soil composition and other facts about the environment of the Piedmont region and understand how truffles grow.
The truffle hunting from Turin can be arranged in the season of the white truffle of Alba (from end of September until January), as well as in summer for the black truffle. Regardless of the type of truffles found, the experience doesn’t change and the aim is to show how truffles can be found by the dog in action.
The walk in the wood requires appropriate footwear as the path can be slippery, uneven and occasionally muddy. A limited number of rubber boots is available, please inquiry at time of booking.
