Truffle Trip

Even if you have eaten truffles before: Do you know why they smell so strong, under what conditions they grow, how they taste best, how to preserve and prepare them? All this and much more you will learn during our truffle tour in Piedmont, which is feasible almost all year round, because truffle hunting is always allowed except in the month of September.

Go truffle hunting with us, our truffle hunter and his dog and experience how the noble tubers are found. Afterwards we will prepare a delicious menu during the truffle cooking course, so that you will enjoy your found and self-excavated truffles very fresh right away. For dessert, of course, there will be homemade the delicious chocolate truffles!

In spring and summer, Piedmont is a little more contemplative than in autumn, when the white truffles are found. However, the black “summer truffles” are certainly not to be sneezed at either! The landscape is also a dream in summer: the vineyards are lush green and you can watch the farmers working the noble vines.

In autumn, the white truffles attract gourmets from all over the world to Alba. Unforgettable are the magnificent foliage color of the vineyards and the beautiful panoramic views up to the Alps. From the beginning of October until the end of November the truffle fair takes place in Alba every Saturday and Sunday.

But in winter Piedmont is a real insider tip, because then the truffles are really good! It is all much more tranquil than in the turbulent autumn months and so you can really “slow” in the land of slow food cuisine to end the year quite enjoyable with good food and wine or spumante.

The visit of a family-run winery with subsequent tasting may not be missing of course! Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo & Co round off the truffle pleasure!
