Truffle Hunting in Val Curone

Val Curone, in the province of Alessandria, is one of Piedmont's white truffle lands: every year, on the third and fourth Sunday of November, San Sebastiano Curone hosts the National White Truffle Fair.

We set off together from Lùlù Guest House in Dernice and head to the woods near San Sebastiano Curone. Here an expert trifolau (truffle hunter) and a truffle dog show you how truffles are found and dug up, sharing the secrets of the trade and stories of the area.

An authentic experience in the nature of the Piedmont hills, for anyone who wants to discover a centuries-old tradition up close. Afterwards we return to Dernice.
