private tours

Experiencing a private Alba White Truffle hunt means discovering the most authentic heart of the Langhe, surrounded by ancient woodlands, rolling vineyards and the timeless traditions of Piedmont.

GB Style creates an exclusive journey combining a private truffle hunt with an exceptional dining experience at Piazza Duomo restaurant in Alba.

Private Truffle Hunting in Alba with a Trifolao and His Dog

The experience begins in the woodlands near Alba, in the province of Cuneo, accompanied by an expert local truffle hunter, known as a trifolao, and his specially trained dog.

During the walk, guests discover how truffles grow, where they can be found and which traditional techniques are used to uncover them.

The most exciting moment arrives when the dog detects the exact location and the trifolao carefully extracts the precious Alba White Truffle from the soil.

This authentic private experience is perfect for couples, families, small groups, companies and international travellers searching for the finest food and wine experiences in Italy.

The Alba White Truffle: An Italian Gastronomic Treasure

The Alba White Truffle, also known as Tuber magnatum Pico, is one of the rarest and most sought-after gastronomic products in the world.

Its intense and unmistakable aroma enhances some of the most traditional dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, including:

• handmade tajarin pasta with butter;
• risotto;
• Piedmontese fondue;
• raw Fassona beef;
• fried eggs;
• fresh handmade pasta.

Autumn is the most important season for this experience, when Alba celebrates its renowned International Alba White Truffle Fair.

Lunch or Dinner at Piazza Duomo Restaurant in Alba

After the truffle hunt, the journey continues in the historic centre of Alba with lunch or dinner at Piazza Duomo, led by acclaimed chef Enrico Crippa.

Piazza Duomo represents one of the most prestigious expressions of Italian fine dining. Chef Enrico Crippa’s philosophy combines creativity, research and elegance with a deep appreciation for Piedmont’s finest seasonal ingredients.

When available, the Alba White Truffle becomes the highlight of a sophisticated gastronomic journey, telling the story of the Langhe through flavours, aromas, colours and textures.
