The Vespa tour we have planned for this occasion starts from the Langhe to give you a unique experience that takes you to discover the most suggestive views of the area. We set off on a classic Vespa itinerary through the Barolo hills, passing through La Morra and other iconic places surrounded by vineyards and breathtaking views.
In this case, a specific stop in Alba by Vespa is not planned, because the heart of the route is concentrated in the most authentic areas of wine and tradition.
During the day, there’s a truly special activity: truffle hunting. Accompanied by an expert trifolao and his trusted dog, you’ll head into the woods in search of this precious treasure of the Langhe. An exciting and authentic moment that lets you experience one of the oldest and most fascinating traditions of the region up close.
You can’t miss the stop dedicated to taste with the merenda sinoira, a Piedmontese tradition that sits somewhere between a brunch and an aperitivo. It can take place in the morning or towards the evening, around 6:00/6:30 PM, and is often hosted inside a wine cellar. Here you can savor typical dishes like Russian salad and vitello tonnato, accompanied by a selection of perfectly paired local wines, to end the day with the authentic flavors of the Langhe.
Truffle hunting is one of the most fascinating experiences you can have.
It’s not just about looking for a rare and precious fungus: it’s a real ritual, made of patience, intuition, and a special bond with the trifolao (truffle hunters) and their inseparable trained dogs.
Walking in the woods, listening to the silence of nature, and watching the moment the dog points and scratches the ground is pure emotion—a shiver down your spine because you know that beneath that spot of earth there could be a treasure with a unique scent.
Taking part in this truffle hunt means getting in touch with an ancient tradition, guarded and passed down for centuries, which is part of the DNA of the Piedmontese hills; it means savoring slowness, learning the value of waiting, and experiencing a deep connection with nature.
Our journey is meant to be experienced on a Vespa, a symbol of Italian design and the desire for freedom.
With your helmet fastened and the gentle hum of the engine, you leave the city behind and start gliding through the hills.
Every curve offers unforgettable views: vineyards as far as the eye can see, medieval villages emerging in the distance, and castles that tell stories of other times.
Our Vespa tour in the Langhe in search of truffles is a dynamic and suggestive experience, an adventure that allows you to explore the area without rushing, savoring every moment.
After the panoramic ride, the most anticipated moment arrives: the truffle hunt, which will make your day unique.
After the excitement of the hunt, there’s nothing better than stopping to share a convivial meal.
Wondering where to eat in Piedmont? Then listen to what we’ve prepared for you.
The merenda sinoira, typical of Piedmont, originated as a hearty late-afternoon meal eaten by farmers after working in the fields. Today it has transformed into a kind of apericena, combining tradition and modernity without losing its original value: that of being together.
Sitting at the table after an intense day on a Vespa, tasting local products like cheeses, cured meats, focaccias, and, of course, truffle dishes, accompanied by a glass of Langhe wine, is an authentic way to experience the true Piedmontese essence.
The merenda sinoira thus becomes the perfect crowning touch to an experience that is already unforgettable.
A Vespa Tour with truffle hunting is much more than a tourist activity: it’s an opportunity to reconnect with nature, discover thousand-year-old traditions, and experience the territory in its authenticity.
There are no filters, no forced paths: there is only the freedom to explore, learn, and savor.
It’s the ideal choice for those who love experiential travel, for those who want to immerse themselves in unique landscapes, and for those who want to discover Piedmont through its culture, its flavors, and its most iconic symbols.
And above all, it’s an experience to share with those you love, because every stop, every toast, and every smile becomes part of a precious memory.
Don’t miss the chance to live an adventure that combines nature, history, and gastronomy in one exciting journey.
Hop on, follow the scent of the earth, and let yourself be surprised by an experience that’s totally different from the usual.
Every curve will be an invitation to wonder, every breath will be steeped in authenticity, and every taste will remind you that Italy is a country to be discovered slowly, with passion and style.
Get ready: Piedmont and its hills are ready to give you emotions you’ll never forget.
