A must do!! Incredible authentic, experience with Veronica, Elio, and border collies Cuba and Chloe. Hunting for truffles in the Piedmont region, on Elio’s restored by hand private property, cannot get any better. A glorious walk through the forest (anticipate some hilly areas) while learning about the white and black truffle seasons and trivia ended with a fantastic wine tasting and tour at a family owned winery. We were shocked that we actually even found some truffles thanks to these superbly trained adorable hard working dogs and Elio’s years of experience as a true truffle hunter.

The truffles hunting was good but then we had a wine tasting of three wines and no tasting of local products. This makes the whole experience much too expensive

This was a once in a lifetime experience! We enjoyed learning about truffles and witnessing the hunt! The guide was very informative and the hunter very friendly along with his two dogs.
I would definitely recommend this activity.
What I would change is the wine tasting part, I think we could’ve gone to a more authentic italian winery and maybe included lunch with wine pairing.

We loved the truffle hunting. We did hike through the forest but it wasn't too strenuous or dirty (for those afraid of being outdoors without sidewalks). We are in fairly good shape. The English guide (Franchesa) was very informative and answered all our questions. The gentlemen and his dogs were pretty amazing to watch. It was about one hour or so in the woods, then up to a winery nearby for a wine tasting. It was a beautiful winery but it has one employee (the winemaker) and he was not as informative. You had about an hour at the winery touring and tasting four wines.
Be sure to read the fine print. You must provide your own transportation as you follow the guide in her car to the two places.

Lovely outing in the forest and winery with a thorough explanation of the regional vicissitudes and activities. An escapade to the heart of the forest, a sweet encounter with tradition and nature just an hour away from Turin. Transport is an issue. Francesca and Elio are kind, patient, knowledgeable and generous.

We had a great experience with Elio and his two dogs. Francesca was an amazing guide from who we learned a lot.

I was looking very much forward to this. I spent a lot of money on it. We are staying in Turin and I even rented a car in order to get to Monforte D'Alba, so I could do this. I got a notice the day before the booking, reminding me to go. I got there and hour early and explored the town. At the appointed time, no one was there. I rang the bell at the municipal office and the nice lady called the company for me, and told me, "She is on the way." Another nice lady showed up to tell me that the whole thing had been cancelled and I had not been told. She offered me another tour at an other place at another time, in Italian. Which made no sense. I only had this one day, and I rented the car for one day, and drove over an hour to get there.
Tripadvisor owes me my money back. And I have no idea how to get it. And this company owes Tripadvisor and explanation. The lady was very nice though, and she tried to get a couple of other people on the phone, to see if they could give me the experience.
