Truffles

The Unione delle Associazioni Trifulau Piemontesi (the trade group for truffle hunters, known as trifulau) runs a daylong workshop on truffles. Learn about the prized subterranean 'shrooms, walk around in the woods, and witness a dog go crazy upon discovering a truffle that was likely planted there for your benefit (10 euros for the search, 55 euros with dinner). Reserve ahead.
