• 5Great day - white truffle bonus!

  Excellent guide and truffle hunter. Very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the region and truffle hunting. Medium size winery was also very nice.

• 5Exciting experience!

  The lake Como trip was fantastic. We saw 3 regions of Italy; all with their unique landscapes, food and history. The truffle hunt and tour was so much fun. The truffle hunter was entertaining and informative. It was exciting to watch the teamwork between the hunter and dog. Great experience.

• 5Exactly what we were looking for!

  This was definitely our favorite activity in Piedmont. Fay, our guide, was awesome. Super knowledgeable, taught us all about the wine, the truffles and the region, and overall just had a great vibe that made for a really pleasant day. The Truffle dog, Turbo, was a ridiculously good boy. And if your like hiking/being outside, its just a great way to spend an hour hiking around and learning about the truffles, the flora and the culture. Also, typically the truffles are typically founds in shaded valleys, so its a good way to be outside on a hot Piedmont day. If you can, go black truffle season... they're more easily found than the rarer white truffles (Turbo found 5! truffles in an hour), and its fun experience to see the dog go crazy excited when he picks up the scent. The Barolo Winery felt very small and botique. We liked it a lot better than some of the larger wineries we went to. The tour of the wine cave was just more casual but also more informative, and the tasting just had an awesome family feel where our guide was like "you guys look like you'd like some cheese" and brought out some of the best Parmesan we've had. All in all in we wanted a tour that felt like a window into Piedmont and it was exactly that. Fay was great, the dog was great, and the wine was great. Highly recommend.

• 5Truffle hunt in Alba

  Excellent organization of Truffle hunt in Alba - all in time and communication in advance. Sure, you should adjust your expectations of the event - not all cases ands with real truffle you may find. It depends on the place and the dog. We were lucky - the dog got 3 black truffles! Its just more fun as we were going there without high expecatitions, its more getting experience and knowledge about the process.
