Truffle Hunt From Turin With Lunch
Truffle tour in Piedmont
The Truffle Hunt from Turin with Lunch is an hassle-free, 6-hour day trip with transportation included.
We arrange the pick up from central Turin and drive about one hour to the Langhe and Roero hills. Here, the truffle hunter and the dog will take you on a walk in the woods and show you the art of unearthing truffles from the rich soil of Piedmont.
The Truffle Hunt from Turin with Lunch continues in the farmhouse of the hunter with a four-course lunch paired with black truffle, before driving back to the city.
Martina was great! Our driver was well appointed and on time. For lunch they served mixed tapas with truffle condiments and truffle cheese, roasted peppers with the garlic sauce, fried egg with black truffle freshly shaved, homemade noodles with butter and fresh truffle, and a chocolate dessert. Recommended.
