What a spectacular time. Very informative and enjoyable. The winery experience was also great. All in all a wonderful experience

The truffle hunt was awesome. The guide and dog were so fun to watch and they really shared their experience.
The winery was also great. Tasted 9 wines with an explanation of each wine. Winery was very welcoming and did not push us at all to buy anything.

Guide was great, but the hunter and his son together with their dog were the show stoppers!! Simply a joy.

This was such an amazing experience! It felt so special to share a truffle hunt with our guide and his beloved dog. Then finishing off the morning with amazing Barolo’s at a beautiful vineyard just really was an Italian dream.

Great introduction to understanding the differ between black & white truffles. the highlight was beautiful Cloe truffle hunting dog who helped us find 4 truffles. The wine tasting at Costa di Bussia was excellent

This was so much fun! We loved learning about the truffles, how the dogs hunt them, and enjoyed the wine tasting after wards. We were able to see the dog sniff out 3 truffles! Would highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful experience in the woods of Piedmonte! We hunted the summer black truffles and where the cost or value isn’t as high as the white, the experience was fantastic!

Thank you to your beautiful family for participating and for the lovely review.

I really appreciate that Margherita honored the experience even though I was the only one that day (for a very reasonable extra fee which she alerted me of beforehand). I really enjoyed learning about the truffle hunting vocation and industry from Piemonte locals Margherita and David and his dog Pia (I hope I got those right!). Pia found three truffles on our walk! I also had a wonderful time at the winery and hazelnut farm afterwards - it is run by a lovely, hospitable family and you can taste their passion in the wines.

Had a great time, Margherita was very easy to contact leading up and set us up with a great tour guide Francesca who was able to translate everything on the truffle hunt from the knowledgeable hunter and amazing dog. She also made changes to the wine booking on the fly for us.
