We had a wonderful time in the woods with an excellent truffle hunter and two lovely dogs. They found 5 white truffles and some black! The surrounding was breathtaking beautiful and the event was well arranged by Margarita. The wine tasting was very interesting and so good! We recommend this a 100%

StaceyDanziger

The truffle hunt was awesome. The guide and dog were so fun to watch and they really shared their experience. The winery was also great. Tasted 9 wines with an explanation of each wine. Winery was very welcoming and did not push us at all to buy anything.

Elaine_N

Guide was great, but the hunter and his son together with their dog were the show stoppers!! Simply a joy.

Phil_S

This was such an amazing experience! It felt so special to share a truffle hunt with our guide and his beloved dog. Then finishing off the morning with amazing Barolo’s at a beautiful vineyard just really was an Italian dream.

Catherine_C

Great introduction to understanding the differ between black & white truffles. the highlight was beautiful Cloe truffle hunting dog who helped us find 4 truffles. The wine tasting at Costa di Bussia was excellent

Kelly_W

This was so much fun! We loved learning about the truffles, how the dogs hunt them, and enjoyed the wine tasting after wards. We were able to see the dog sniff out 3 truffles! Would highly recommend this tour!

Michael_H

Wonderful experience in the woods of Piedmonte! We hunted the summer black truffles and where the cost or value isn’t as high as the white, the experience was fantastic!

Fantastic day and well worth the one and a half hour drive we had to do for it as we where staying in Gavi. Margherita was very helpful, suggesting we bring the Truffle hunt forward as the weather was to be bad on our day. The Truffle hunt was very informative and relaxing, getting to know and understand the way of life in the region. our Guide and dog found 4 Truffles. The Barolo tasting was equally as good if not better. We had such a selection of wines to taste and in such as relax setting. Would do the tour again if i was over there. just one point, the meeting point had us going to the wrong place in Alba, not sure if that was us or not.

For the price and location I expected the wine tasting could have been better. Only 4 wines were included . visit tour were below expectations
