White truffle season in Alba

5 Min Read · By The Editor · July 2026

The trifolau will not tell you where he is taking you, and he will not tell you afterwards either. The woods are inherited, and so are their secrets.

We start before sunrise, when the ground still holds the scent. Then the World Truffle Auction at the Castle of Grinzane Cavour, where a single tuber can go for the price of a small car, and lunch with a producer who pours Barolo as though it were water.

The season runs from October to early December. The best weeks move with the weather, so we book late and tell you when.
