What makes this tour a unique experience?
- You’ll participate in a real truffle hunt lead by a “trifulau” (a professional truffle hunter) who will take us into the magical woods in search of this Langhe gem
- We’ll visit a superb winery, learn (and taste!) why Barolo is considered one of the best wines in the world
- On this tour we’ll be moving between locations by private vehicle
All of our LocalWonders Travel tours include a passionate expert local leader who will become your “local friend”, opening up for you the most authentic side of Italy. Our local leaders are professional and knowledgeable and take pride in providing hassle-free experiences for our guests.
Is this the tour I want?
Though the main activities on this adventure involve food and wine, our exciting truffle hunt includes a 1-2 hour walk in the woods. Travelers with limited mobility should also note that, as is common throughout Italy, there may be some stairs to climb.
Our expert local professionals aim to provide an informal, friendly style while upholding our professional and high-quality standards. If an authentic but top-quality experience is what you’re after, you’re in safe hands with us.

Itinerary
Day experience
Our Piedmont Wine Experience starts driving out of Turin for reaching an area where the hills and the vineyards form a breathtaking landscape where colors blend with shapes in beautiful harmony. After some moment for enjoying the view, we will reach the meeting point with the truffle hunter and together with him and his faithful dog we will start walking in the bush hunting for the truffle.
We’ll then have a break and we will enjoy a typical Piedmont lunch.
In the afternoon, we will visit one of the most renowned estate of the area and we will taste great and top-quality wines including Barolo, one of the most renowned Italian red wines. We will then go back to your hotel in Turin.
