Vespa Tour with Truffle Hunting

Imagine riding a Vespa: the wind brushing against your face, the fresh air carrying the scent of vineyards and rolling hills, and in front of you the landscapes of the Langhe, looking like a painting drawn with soft yet intense colors.

Then, suddenly, an unmistakable aroma: that of the white truffle, considered the “diamond of the earth” and cherished by chefs and gourmets all over the world.

This is not just a simple Vespa trip: it’s an experience that combines the beauty of traveling on two wheels, the magic of truffle hunting, the conviviality of Piedmontese traditions, and the joy of discovery.

With the Vespa Truffle Hunting Tour, you’ll live an adventure that engages all your senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and of course, taste.

What does the Tour include?

The Vespa tour we propose starts in the Langhe and offers you a unique opportunity to explore the most evocative landscapes of the region. You’ll embark on a classic Vespa itinerary through the hills of Barolo, passing through La Morra and other iconic spots surrounded by vineyards and breathtaking views.

In this case, the route does not specifically include a Vespa stop in Alba, because the heart of the journey focuses on the most authentic areas of wine and tradition.

During the day, a truly special activity awaits: truffle hunting. Accompanied by an experienced trifolao (truffle hunter) and his loyal dog, you’ll venture into the woods in search of this precious treasure of the Langhe. An authentic and thrilling moment that lets you experience up close one of the oldest and most fascinating traditions of the region.

No tour would be complete without a pause dedicated to flavor, with the traditional merenda sinoira, a Piedmontese custom halfway between a brunch and an aperitif. It can take place in the morning or in the early evening, around 6/6:30 pm, and is often hosted inside a winery. Here you’ll taste typical dishes such as Russian salad and vitello tonnato, paired with a selection of local wines, to end your day with the authentic flavors of the Langhe.

The magic of truffle hunting on (and off) a Vespa

Truffle hunting is one of the most fascinating experiences you can live.

It’s not just about searching for a rare and precious fungus: it’s a true ritual, made of patience, intuition, and the deep bond between the trifolao and his inseparable trained dog.

Walking through the woods, listening to the silence of nature, and witnessing the moment when the dog stops and digs at the ground is pure emotion — a shiver runs down your spine as you realize that beneath that patch of earth might lie a treasure with a unique fragrance.

Taking part in truffle hunting means connecting with an ancient tradition, preserved and passed down for centuries, deeply rooted in the DNA of the Piedmontese hills. It means savoring slowness, learning the value of waiting, and experiencing a deep connection with nature.

Truffle Hunting and Merenda Sinoira: Piedmont’s “Apericena”

After the thrill of truffle hunting, nothing is better than stopping to share a convivial meal.
Wondering where to eat in Piedmont? Here’s what we’ve prepared for you.

The merenda sinoira, typical of Piedmont, was originally a substantial late-afternoon meal enjoyed by farmers after a day of work in the fields. Today it has evolved into a sort of early dinner-aperitif (apericena), blending tradition and modernity without losing its original essence: bringing people together.

Sitting down after an intense day on a Vespa, tasting local specialties like cheeses, cured meats, focaccia, and of course truffle dishes, paired with a glass of Langhe wine, is the most authentic way to experience true Piedmontese culture.

The merenda sinoira thus becomes the perfect finale to an experience already destined to be unforgettable.
