Get ready for an enchanting full-day tour that revolves around one enchanting word – truffle! This extraordinary delicacy has the power to captivate every palate, and those lucky enough to have tasted it can't stop talking about their first delightful impressions. For those simply yearning to bask in its unique flavor, we invite you on a thrilling escapade known as the "Truffle Hunt."

Picture this: the unmistakable, sometimes robust aroma of truffles, with hints of garlic and honey, creating a sensory experience that's both delightful and almost magically elusive. Revel in a blissful 15-minute pleasure ride, and when the scent of this earthy treasure fades away, you're left with nothing but beautiful memories.

While the black truffle is a year-round gem waiting to be discovered, the true jewel is the white truffle. It's exclusive, makes a fleeting appearance during a specific season, and can only be found in a select few locations. Alba is one of those rare places where enthusiasts embark on a quest for the elusive aromatic white truffle.

The white truffle, a genuine treasure, hides in the damp forests of Piedmont, particularly in the Langhe area, a UNESCO site since 2014. While uncovering an underground truffle on your own is nearly impossible, fear not! A specially trained trifolau (truffle hunter) and their faithful furry companion will be by your side.

Keep in mind: only from October till January we find an exclusive white truffle, during February - September is only black season truffle!

Imagine strolling through the woods, watching the skilled dog in action before transitioning to a Barolo wine cellar surrounded by picturesque vineyards. Barolo, an extraordinary and renowned Italian wine, is crafted exclusively from 100% Nebbiolo grapes thriving on the beautiful hills of Langhe in Piedmont. These wines boast richness, full-bodied character, and a robust presence of acidity and tannins.

This journey promises an unforgettable exploration, marrying the delights of truffles and Barolo in the heart of Piedmont. Join us for an enjoyable, immersive experience! "

About Tour Guide Valeriya K.

Greetings from Milan and Northern Italy !


I am Valeriya, a proud Milanese resident for 27 wonderful years. Originally from Ukraine, Milan has embraced me as its own, and I couldn't imagine calling any other place home. My journey began with a degree in Linguistic Sciences from the esteemed Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, igniting my passion for languages and all things Italian.


For a decade now, I have been a licensed tourist guide, specializing in City Sightseeing tours, historical expeditions, and mouthwatering wine & food adventures across Northern Italy. From enchanting Lombardy to the captivating Veneto and Piedmont regions, I craft unforgettable journeys for my guests. Customized tours are my specialty, tailored to meet your every desire.


Italy's vibrant culture, rich history, and mesmerizing art have stolen my heart. However, my deepest love lies with Italian cuisine – its flavors are a symphony of delight. Exploring, cooking, and indulging in the country's culinary wonders bring me immense joy.


Beyond the city's charm, I find solace and thrill amidst Lombardy's breathtaking nature. The stunning Como and Maggiore lakes, along with the serene Valtellina area, are my cherished getaways. Additionally, my certification as an Italian Sommelier allows me to make the world of Italian wines accessible and enjoyable to all.


Guiding you through Italy's captivating past, cultural gems, and exquisite flavors is an honor for me. I strive to ensure your experience is not only informative but also immensely enjoyable and fun. Fluent in English, Italian, and Ukrainian, seamless communication is guaranteed throughout our journey together.


So, if you're eager to uncover the wonders of Milan and its surroundings, allow me to be your trusted guide. Together, we'll revel in the magic of Italy, savor its culinary masterpieces, and create cherished memories that will stay with you forever. Let the adventure begin!
