The best day we have ever had in our years in Italia. I could not recommend this experience enough. Even with the heat, Secil, Felix and Santino made us feel so welcome. We met at a local bar for caffè before heading out. Watching them so calm, Gemma and her pup, Raul and Vasco with their fantastic energy, finding truffle at nearly every stop. Felix and Secil teaching us about where to look, different types, and the conservation. So peaceful to leave the city, and be with people who share their passion, and their amazing dogs. Santino had a much appreciated sneaky stop on the way to lunch for refreshments for us. Lunch at a local could not have been better, fantastic genuine simple food and local wine paired with laughs and fresh truffle. For me, this was very nostalgic and emotional: it brought back a lot of memories wandering the forest with my Nonno, pranzo felt like my Nonna had cooked and we were with the family at the table. Grazie mille Secil, Felix e Santino per la giornata migliore!
Fantastic day of truffle fun!

Such a pleasure to learn about village life in Piedmont and truffle culture. The time hunting was perfect and not too long - within a couple of hours, we found over 15 black summer truffles, thanks to the keen noses of doggies Gemma and Toca. The trattoria had a lively authentic vibe as we enjoyed shaved truffles over hot cheese and pasta. Our guides Secil and Felix were warm, enthusiastic and fun. This experience is worth a revisit!
Fun, Flavor, and Fantastic Truffles!

An unforgettable truffle hunting adventure with Santoro, Secil, Felix, and their amazing dogs – Vasco “The Godfather,” spirited Raoul, Gemma “The Gem,” and little Hesche. So much fun finding these treasures and even better tasting them afterward at a most delightful trattoria, where every dish highlighted the flavours of our freshly gathered gems.
Perfect all round!

Dear Secil, dear Felix, It was a really nice truffle hunt for us. You welcomed us very warmly and after a coffee together we already went through the undergrowth with the dog. After a successful find we then went to Alberto's to eat the truffles. It was excellent. It's like sitting at a table with friends. Thanks again for this wonderful day and the great tips of the restaurants and excursion destinations. We will definitely come back:-) Greetings Sarah and Frédéric
A perfect afternoon
