- You will learn many things about the truffle: from the biological cycle to the habitat and many more about the dog that will guide you in your search for the precious fungus

YOUR EXPERIENCE
Experience an unforgettable day immersed in an enchanting landscape of hilly expanses as far as the eye can see, ancient villages and perched castles, a succession of gentle slopes cultivated with vines whose rows draw rigorous geometries: these are the magnificent sceneries of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, which became a World Heritage Site in 2014.
The experience for you and your guests will begin at dawn, like real truffle hunters. You will meet your expert guide and his dog and, after an initial briefing, you will be ready to start the real Truffle Hunt. Nothing like the hundreds of proposals built on a small simulation. It will be just you, spectacular forests, unspoilt nature, your Trifolao, his dog and the great desire and excitement of the search and discovery.
You will become a child again for a few hours, but with your head firmly focused on a single goal: unearthing this product, symbol of gastronomic excellence and jewel of Italy appreciated throughout the world. After hours of searching, when your tiredness will be perfectly balanced by the coveted booty of ‘white gold’, you will be accompanied to the Starred Restaurant where you will have the opportunity to carry out an enthralling Sensory Analysis of the Truffle that will allow you to increase your knowledge of this mythical product of the Piedmontese lands and taste it with greater awareness and interest.
At the end of the sensory analysis, in the company of your guests, treat yourself to the sensational experience of dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant chosen for you by the Director of the Bocuse d’Or Academy, an icon of Piedmont’s great gastronomic culture, where the Chef and an entire brigade will be ready to pamper you with an embrace of flavours and fragrances created especially for you.
