Operated by SipLanghe · Alba, Piedmont
You step off a narrow country lane into a stand of oak and hazel; the damp loam gives underfoot and the dog pulls quietly on its lead, nose to the leaf litter. The hunter—trifolao—moves with practiced patience, reading roots and scent the way a map-reader scans contours. For 90 minutes you follow their rhythm, learning how the Tuber magnatum pico (Alba white) and the darker Langhe tuber announce themselves to a trained animal.
easy.
1–1.5 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; involves short walks on uneven ground and occasional kneeling
The overall private activity lasts about 90 minutes—the walk with the trifolao followed by a tasting meal featuring truffle‑accented dishes.
Finds depend on season, soil conditions, and animal behavior; the experience focuses on education and tasting, with better odds during peak autumn and early winter.
The walk is short and low‑intensity, but terrain can be uneven; notify the operator about young children or mobility needs so they can advise or adapt the tour.
Hosts typically search for Alba white truffle (Tuber magnatum pico) and local black truffles of the Langhe, depending on season and site.
Truffle hunting in Piedmont has roots in rural subsistence and market trade; Alba’s fairs and auctions grew in the 20th century into a culinary economy around prized truffle varieties.
Sustainable foraging and respect for private land are essential—hosts typically follow practices that avoid overdigging and protect root systems and soil structure.
SipLanghe operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
