Truffle hunting

Truffle Hunting in the Langhe

The Langhe is famous throughout the world for the prestigious White Truffle of Alba. Hidden beneath the forest floor, this aromatic delicacy is found with the help of an experienced trifolao—a local truffle hunter—and a specially trained dog.

Join a private truffle-hunting experience in the woods of Piedmont and learn about the traditions, skills and natural conditions behind the search for this elusive “white gold”. It is an authentic way to experience the landscape and culinary culture surrounding Alba and Monforte d’Alba.

Nic and Kim can arrange a tailor-made truffle hunt during your stay at Villa Monforte Barolo, with the possibility of combining the experience with local food, wine and a memorable meal in the Langhe.

Plan your experience and stay

Discover Villa Monforte Barolo and its private pool as your base in the Langhe. Contact Nicoletta and Kim to arrange this experience, subject to availability, or email villa@vmbarolo.com. Check availability and book your villa stay.
