Highlights
I'm a professional truffle hunter from 3 generations in Alba. My grandfather after the 2nd world war was one of the first truffle hunters in Alba, he taught my father all the secrets about the precious "ipogean fungus" then my father taught it to me. I'm a dog trainer & actually I've got 3 great dogs: Isi, Palli & Lisa. I would like to teach "some' 'of my truffle hunting secrets to travelers. During the tour you will be helped by my friend Margherita. She's an official tourist guide with great passion for truffles and local traditions to translate every part of the hunting.

5A must-see in Alba
Incredible experience! Could not recommend more. Margharita and Giovani were so personable + knowledgeable and led us on an incredible venture followed by a small, family-owned winery. A must see in Piedmont!
5A wonderful morning truffle hunt
A wonderful fun experience we had a great time Margarita and Giovanni made it an exciting and fun day. Turbo the wonder, dog found truffles almost right away and kept going. Be sure to wear some good walking shoes, that you can get a bit muddy. Margarita head boots available if you don’t have good shoes it’s a wonderful way to spend a morning.

5Cant-miss-experience in Piedmont
Fun/Informative experience with super nice accommodators. We were able to find 3 black truffles today although it's a low season. ( if you want to try finding white truffles, you will need to come in winter. The dog, Hublot ( sorry if I misspell your name) is very skillef and well trained, you will be blown away. high recommend this tour :)

About Langhe-Roero and Monferrato
The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are the vine-covered hills of southern Piedmont, home to Barolo and Barbaresco wines, hilltop villages and white truffles.
These three areas of southern Piedmont form a landscape of rolling hills, vineyards and castle-topped villages, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2014. The Langhe, around Alba, is the home of Barolo and Barbaresco, red wines made from the nebbiolo grape. The Roero lies across the Tanaro river, and Monferrato, further east, reaches Asti and the Barbera and Moscato vineyards.
