Description
The Alba White Truffle Fair guided tour brings you to the capital of the Barolo region for the annual fair devoted to Piedmont's famous white truffle. The tour combines the town with the market in one outing.
A guide leads a group through the medieval centre, telling its history and traditions. With a skip-the-line ticket you then enter the fair, meet the exhibitors and take in the sights and smells of the white truffle market, while learning about the truffle's history and characteristics.
Included in the tour:
- skip-the-line entrance to the fair
- a tour guide
- round-trip train tickets from Turin
Reaching Alba by train from Turin is part of the package, so you do not need to organise the transfer yourself. Depending on the option you pick, the outing lasts from about two and a half hours up to five. It is a good choice for food lovers who want to see the truffles on offer up close and a historic town as well, without queuing at the entrance. The tour is run in English.
