Sunset Truffle Hunt in the Langhe with Tasting

The Diamond of the Langhe Awaits You at Sunset

There is a magical moment in the Langhe, when the sunset light tints the woods with golden hues and the air fills with intense, wild scents. It is in these instants that the Alba truffle, the most prized in the world, reveals all its hidden beauty.

Accompanied by an expert truffle hunter and his loyal hunting dog, you'll venture among the trees in the woods near Gavi, following an ancient ritual handed down through generations. Every dig is a small discovery, every scent a revelation.

The evening ends in the most pleasant way: with a tasting of fresh truffles paired with selected local wines, because in Piedmont the table is always part of the journey. An experience with a 4.95 out of 5 rating that truly leaves a mark.

From the forest hunt to the tasting: the full evening tour

The tour begins in the late afternoon, when the woods around Gavi wrap themselves in the warm light of sunset. Here your host, a local truffle hunter with years of experience, will introduce you to the secrets of this ancient hunt, explaining how to read the land and recognise the hidden signs that only true experts can interpret.

The undisputed star of the adventure is the truffle dog: with its extraordinary sense of smell, it will guide the group through trails and clearings in search of the precious underground treasure. Following along is an experience in itself, a mix of anticipation, surprise and satisfaction when at last the treasure is brought to light.

Once back, the evening enters its tastiest moment. The freshly harvested truffles are presented for tasting, enhanced by carefully studied pairings with selected Piedmontese wines. You'll learn to appreciate aromas and nuances you wouldn't have known how to distinguish before.

The tour is designed for those who want to experience Piedmont authentically, far from mass-tourism circuits. With 235 EUR, you access an exclusive experience that you'll find hard to forget. The 4.95 out of 5 rating from 22 travellers confirms that this evening keeps every promise.
