Truffle Hunting
One of Piedmont's most fascinating traditions
Accompanied by the silence of nature and the infallible nose of the Lagotto dogs, you will personally experience the magic of discovering the underground gold of our land, the famous White Truffle of Alba.
The art of truffle hunting: a tradition to be lived
Our 42-hectare estate is the perfect setting for this adventure. Here, far from everything, you will be guided by an expert trifulau, a guardian of the forest’s secrets, who, together with his trusted dogs, will teach you to interpret the signs of the earth.
This activity is available exclusively for hotel guests. The route involves a descent of about 15 minutes to reach the truffle ground and an ascent of about 25 minutes, with a moderate altitude difference of 250 metres, therefore we recommend comfortable clothing and suitable shoes to fully enjoy the experience.
The thrill of seeing these precious gems, white or black, emerge from the soil is a memory you will carry with you, a symbol of a truly unforgettable gastronomic holiday in the Langhe.
From the forest to the table: where to taste the truffle
The pinnacle of this adventure is reached at the table. Imagine finding a truffle in the woods, then savouring it a few hours later on a delicious plate of handmade tajarin with a creamy butter sauce. The truffle, with its intoxicating aroma, is the undisputed star of our cuisine. At Fàula restaurant, our Chef Francesco Clerico celebrates this local treasure all year long.
The perfect pairing? A glass of the finest Piedmont wines, selected from our cellar. Let us recommend a bottle that will complete an all-encompassing sensory journey, making your stay a moment of pure pleasure.
