Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the parking of the Alba Cemetary. Here, you'll board your vehicle and follow the tour guide to the forest to begin your truffle-hunting adventure. Are you ready to discover the secrets of the truffle, one of the region's most renowned products?

Once we arrive at our destination, we'll meet the truffle expert, who will guide us and give us advice on truffle hunting. During the activity, you'll have the chance to observe the expert's work up close and watch the specially trained truffle-hunting dogs in action as they search for these prized mushrooms. Then, we'll set out into the mountains with our truffle expert and their furry companions while they hunt!

We'll take part in a simulated activity where the expert has previously hidden truffles to demonstrate the truffle-hunting process. However, given the abundance of truffles in the area, there's a chance we may find truffles that haven't been artificially planted but have grown organically in the region.

After this hour-and-a-half hunting session, you'll return to your vehicle, concluding your truffle-hunting experience.
