A hidden gem of an experience - We were in the Emilia Romagna region and we decided at the last minute to visit the Piedmont for a day. The experience of truffle hunting seemed unique, and based on the reviews here, we took a shot at it. It was probably the best experience during our trip -- and that is a lot to say since the other places we had visited had been amazing as well. We had even joked that we may find ourselves in someones backyard with a dog and pony show... but no, we actually went into the woods and saw the dog's ability to find and dig for truffles. Her name is Pina. It's so amazing how she could spot them. The truffle hunter was fully italian and the guide translated as he explained. Both are wonderful people. We then went to a winery to visit and taste three wines. They were all very good. The person making the presentation even recommended a handful of great restaurants to have lunch. My wife and I recommend this trip wholeheartedly.

Awesome experience! - Awesome experience! If you get the chance to do it, don't miss it !!! The staff was very helpful and the dogs are lovely.

Great experience! - That was a great experience! The tour guide , the hunter were very nice and professional. We love it! Thank you!

A must do! Incredible experience! - 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.

Best experience - I really love the experience. The host is a lovely person and you will lear averything you want about the trouffles. It was one of my best experiences in Italy.

Truffle hunting is simply a special experience! - With a truffle hunter and his two dogs, we walked through his territory for about 1 1/2 hours in a group of ten people... and found about 5 truffles. A very nice experience, especially to understand and see how the dogs are "motivated". Then we went on to an architecturally valuable winery, where their winemaking process from harvest to the finished wine was explained. That was fine... but I didn't particularly like the wine there. Unfortunately, there were no local delicacies to eat. In summary: A bit expensive... but truffle hunting is really a special, beautiful experience.

Totally Recommended - 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.

Truffle hunting was fun - wine tasting a bit medicore - 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.

A true piemontese experience - 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.

No tasting of local products and therefore too expensive - 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
