Ape Calessino Tour in Alba and its treasure: the white truffle

Alba is not just any city: it is the undisputed capital of the white truffle.
Every year, from mid-September (around the 15th–20th) until December, the city transforms into an international stage thanks to the International Alba White Truffle Fair, an event that attracts travelers, food lovers, and the curious from all over the globe.

Walking through its streets, the atmosphere is truly unique: fragrances filling the air, stalls overflowing with gastronomic excellence, cultural events, and tastings that celebrate a rare and inimitable product.

It is here, between history and modernity, that our Vespa Tours and Ape Calessino Tours come to life — experiences that combine tradition, conviviality, and adventure.

What does the tour include?

The Ape Calessino tour is a charming experience that lets you discover the city of Alba from a different and fascinating perspective. The route winds through some of the main streets, while the pedestrian areas and the beating heart of the historic center — such as the Duomo — can be comfortably explored on foot. This combination of ride and walk makes the itinerary complete and enjoyable for every participant.

During the tour, you may choose to visit the renowned Alba Truffle Fair, an event that celebrates the culinary excellence of the region and is also a wonderful stop if you’re wondering where to eat in Piedmont.
