Meet your English-speaking guide at Monvino in Monforte d’Alba, follow by car to the woods, and watch truffle hunter Elio and his trained dogs search for white and black truffles. Return to Monvino for cheese and wine, including Barolo and Barbaresco.

“We were in the Emilia Romagna region and we decided at the last minute to visit the Piedmont for a day. The experience of truffle hunting seemed unique, and based on the reviews here, we took a shot at it. It was probably the best experience during our trip -- and that is a lot to say since the other places we had visited had been amazing as well. We had even joked that we may find ourselves in someones backyard with a dog and pony show... but no, we actually went into the woods and saw the dog's ability to find and dig for truffles. Her name is Pina.…”
