Best time to travel?
The best time to visit the Piemonte region for truffle hunting is during the autumn months, from September to November, coinciding with the peak white truffle season. This is when the region comes alive with truffle fairs, golden foliage, and cool, crisp air. For a quieter, more intimate experience, consider early winter, which offers fewer crowds but equally enchanting landscapes and flavours.
Ideal Duration?
We recommend a 3-day itinerary to fully immerse yourself in the essence of Piemonte. This allows you to enjoy the thrill of truffle hunting, indulge in the region's world-class gastronomy, and explore its cultural and natural highlights at a leisurely pace.
