Going through the woods in search of the Truffle, be it black or white, is certainly one of the most intense and exciting experiences that the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero area can offer. Vacchina Piercarlo Truffle Hunting, specialized in this type of activity for over 10 years, offers you the opportunity to participate in this wonderful experience with different types of service.
The hunt is simulated because truffles are previously buried by the hunter. Since the hunt takes place in a natural truffle setting, during the hunt we may also find spontaneoulsy grown and mature tubers.
