IN SEARCH OF TRUFFLE KING

Truffle hunting in Monferrato is an experience worth living and telling. Everything is true and authentic; nothing is prepared and when the faithful tabui (truffle dog) starts to dig and agitate itself you will realise you are holding your breath and both quiver with happiness. At the end, tasting and winery visit.

 

Not to be missed is the night-time truffle hunt with tasting of a dish cooked with you, naturally with the freshly found truffle together.

 

From 2021 truffle hunting in Italy is an intangible heritage of mankind: Knowing how to find truffles requires a wide range of skills and knowledge about climate, environment and vegetation, related to the management of natural ecosystems and the relationship between the dog and the truffle hunter.
These notions are transmitted orally through stories, fables, anecdotes and special expressions that reflect the local cultural identity, creating a spirit of solidarity in the truffle-hunting community.
This ancient tradition is often associated with popular festivals marking the opening and closing of the season of the precious mushroom. The practices respect the ecological balance and biodiversity of the plants, ensuring the seasonal regeneration of the various species. Not to be missed are the truffle fairs held from October to December in the area, a feast of colours and flavours for a unique sensory experience

WINE EXPERIENCE

In Monferrato, wine can become an experience extraordinary. In addition to the tastings here are the most unusual and original ones selected for you.

Wine painting: with our painter and colour sommelier you will learn that you can use wine and its thousands of shades instead of traditional colours. The wine colour palette has endless combinations, thanks to factors that result in ever-changing hues.

Grape-harvesting tourism: take part in the grape-harvesting by hand in the vineyards and then the crushing of the grapes with your feet, just as it was done in the olden days, to have direct contact with the essence of the wine and enjoy a unique sensory experience.

Wine SPA and wine therapy: a bath in wine? Grapes have antioxidant, relaxing and toning properties. The resveratrol in red grape skins counteracts free radicals, slowing down the skin's ageing process, and the grape polyphenols have exfoliating effects, stimulating cell regeneration and improving the skin's appearance. A real beauty bath!
