About Piedmont Truffle Huntings
Piedmont is the world capital of the truffle — the Alba white truffle (tartufo bianco) is the most prized and expensive truffle on earth, and the Langhe hills around Alba are where it’s hunted. A Piedmont truffle hunt pairs you with a trifulau (truffle hunter) and his trained dog to walk the woods and dig up a fresh find.
Most hunts end with a tasting — truffle shaved over eggs or pasta, plus local cheese and a glass of Langhe wine (often Barolo or Barbera). Autumn is white-truffle season and peaks around Alba’s famous truffle fair, but black-truffle and summer hunts run year-round.

What Travelers Say
"Well worth doing to experience walking the land with a local truffle hunter and his dogs. Afterwards, a great wine tasting at Mon Vino in Monforte d’Alba rounds out an introduction to the area. Recommend the tour."
"Our tour was well organized, had an exceedingly detailed wine tasting, and truffle hunting was an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend."
"The experience is outstanding! The intricacies of foraging for truffles were a thrilling sight to watch. The guide and his precious dogs were so happy as were we. Every find was a celebration. We left with a calm and gentle appreciation for the marvels of nature. The wine tasting was highly enjoyable and educational. We loved every moment and look forward to the white truffle, and Nebbiolo and Barolo we brought home. Thank you!"
"Very enjoyable tour - we were very fortunate and found close to 200gr of truffles within the 1.5hrs spent in the woods - great tour guide who translated"
