Itinerary

09:00 | Departure for panoramic tour of the Roero Hills.

Suggested itinerary provided by Landmade based on the period/day chosen, to be carried out with own car.

10:30 | Arrival and meeting with an experienced local ‘trifolao’ (truffle hunter in Piedmontese dialect).

Private truffle hunting excursion in the wood with the trifolao and his trusty dog along with a thorough explanation of the truffle and the truffle hunting life (what the truffle is, its life cycle, the varieties, truffle use, truffle hunt, history and myth, the dog, harvest calendar and marketing).

It’s a rare thing to be invited into the life of a truffle hunter. Secrecy has protected their precious hunting grounds for generations, so during your private truffle hunting excursion you will experience a real sense of mystery as you are lead deep into the woods on unmarked roads. Always at the front will be the trifolao's trusty dog, the “tabui”, and we dare you to resist the thrill of the chase when the tabui picks up the scent! 

Final aperitif in the wood (assortment of snacks and truffle-based specialties, drinks included).

13:00 | Themed lunch with the truffle hunter (6 courses of which 3 with fresh Black Truffle, drinks included).

In season, from October until January, lunch with fresh White Truffle is possible.

During your intimate lunch with the trifolao, you’ll experience the culinary pairings of food and wine that bring the best out of the truffle. Learn more about the history of the truffle, its life cycle, and the life of those who have made it their profession to bring this aromatic prize to the world. 

15:00 | Departure.
