I'm a professional truffle hunter from 3 generations in Alba. My grandfather after the 2nd world war was one of the first truffle hunters in Alba, he taught my father all the secrets about the precious "ipogean fungus" then my father taught it to me. I'm a dog trainer & actually I've got 3 great dogs: Isi, Palli & Lisa. I would like to teach "some' 'of my truffle hunting secrets to travelers. During the tour you will be helped by my friend Margherita. She's an official tourist guide with great passion for truffles and local traditions to translate every part of the hunting.

Fun/Informative experience with super nice accommodators. We were able to find 3 black truffles today although it's a low season. ( if you want to try finding white truffles, you will need to come in winter. The dog, Hublot ( sorry if I misspell your name) is very skillef and well trained, you will be blown away. high recommend this tour :)
Great experience

The truffle hunting was very fun experience, despite during low season, we’ve found quite a few black truffles. This wine tour and tasting is informative and chill-paced. Recommended!
Bucket List-Worthy Use of Time in Alba!

Both the truffle hunt (with EXCELLENT guide, hunter, and dog!) and wine tasting was far, far better than I expected and worth every penny! Our guide was very easy to locate and the actual truffle hunt was very fun and informative; we found about 6 truffles and it was a joy to see this obviously well-trained and intelligent dog hunt! The wine tasting afterwards was in a gorgeous location in Alba and the local wines, cheeses, meats, and hazelnuts were very high quality (we ended up buying a couple bottles).
Awesome

We had a wonderful time in the woods with an excellent truffle hunter and two lovely dogs. They found 5 white truffles and some black! The surrounding was breathtaking beautiful and the event was well arranged by Margarita. The wine tasting was very interesting and so good! We recommend this a 100%
