This is a day trip to the truffle and wine area in Piemonte known as Langhe, famous to the real connoisseurs of fine wines and food. You will read that the best time of the year to visit this area is September to November when the truffle and wine frenzy is at its height, but I've done this tour for so many years, in all weather conditions, even under the snow, and I must say that there is no best time: it's always beautiful. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT TRUFFLES RESIST CULTIVATION and grow in the wilds, meaning that I cannot guarantee that truffles will be found during our search but the positive thing is that you will actually see how truffle searches take place, you will learn everything about the complex tuber and you will be walking immersed in nature chasing both truffler and truffle dog. This tour will also expose you to the white and red wines of Piemonte with its amazing views over hills, mountains and medieval architecture.
- Depart from Torino in the morning to take full advantage of solar light (especially for those doing the tour in autumn). Destination wine and truffle land ! - travel to the Langhe area and meet up with truffle hunter and his faithful companion, the dog. White truffles are harvested as from late September to February therefore, if you choose to do the truffle hunt outside this limited time period, you will be hunting for black truffles - drive to enjoy a truffle tasting or a light lunch depending on your appetite (cost not included in the cost of the tour) - drive along scenic, winding roads that will take us to your next experience: wine tasting - drive back to Turin Please contact me for customization, especially if you wish to visit a wine producer specializing in Barolo or Barbaresco wines
