Villa Monforte

Truffle hunting

Would you like to participate in a truffle hunt?

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.
