Langhe Truffle simulated truffle hunt

price for up to 4 people

A unique experience of a real truffle hunt with the trifulau Massimiliano and his "tabui" Kelly

One of the most popular experiences for tourists while staying in the Langa is truffle hunting.

You can enjoy this experience accompanied by the trifulau Massimiliano Bertello and his faithful Kelly, the tabui (dog).

Learn the tricks of the trade on this truffle hunting excursion

You will be taken, in your own vehicle or by car for up to four people, through the UNESCO hills of the Langhe and Roero, to one of the four natural truffle grounds.

The price is the same for groups of up to 4 people, and from the fifth person onwards the additional cost is €10 per person; children under 10 are free.

This is not an exclusive experience: the trifulau may take the liberty of joining multiple groups for scheduling convenience, and it is indeed possible that you will be accompanied by other curious visitors.

The meeting point is agreed upon directly with Massimiliano.

Finding a truffle is guaranteed, as it is a simulated hunt within truffle grounds. The discovery of spontaneously ripened truffles is not excluded.

The hunt locations: Natural truffle grounds in Roddi (Ravinali district), Barbaresco, La Morra (Annunziata district).

In case of unfavorable weather conditions or impassable terrain, the trifulau reserves the right to cancel the hunt.

The truffles found during the hunt belong to the trifulau, but can be purchased at the end of the hunt, based on weight and seasonal value.

Clothing suitable for a hike in the woods, such as hiking boots or boots, is recommended. Pets are not allowed as they could distract the dog, Kelly.

This is an experience to be enjoyed respectfully, so as not to disturb the delicate balance of the forest.

Langhe Truffle

Discover the faces behind the experience

One of the most appreciated experiences by tourists during their stay in Langhe is the truffle search.

This activity is characterized by an almost symbiotic relationship between the seeker (trifolau) and his dog (tabui), which is decisive for finding the precious hypogeal fungus (trifula).

The interaction between the trifolau and the dog takes place with commands in the Piedmontese language.

The simulated research

The discovery of truffles is guaranteed since it’s a simulated research, though finding spontaneously matured truffles is not excluded.

Places of research: natural truffle field of Roddi (district Ravinali), Canale, La Morra (district Annunziata).

For more information or to book the simulated search, you can contact Francesca (+39 333 998 9110), although it is always recommended to use the appropriate form.
