About This Activity

Accompanied by a third-generation truffle hunter (trifolao) and their specially trained dogs, you'll venture into private woodland estates normally closed to the public. As dawn breaks over the misty Piedmont hills, witness the ancient relationship between hunter and canine as they uncover these elusive underground delicacies using techniques passed down through generations. Following your woodland adventure, retreat to a historic villa where a Michelin-trained chef will transform your foraged treasures into an exquisite multi-course tasting menu. Each dish highlights the complex flavors of your freshly harvested truffles, complemented by rare vintage wines from neighboring Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards. Throughout the experience, a truffle expert provides fascinating insights into the biology, history, and cultural significance of these gastronomic gems, enhancing your appreciation of this truly luxurious culinary pursuit.
