I might be able to arrange something for you through them if you are interested but in the meantime I read the details below in a magazine about two hotels that organize truffle hunting:- Locanda del Sant'Uffizio (tel: 00 39 01 41 91 62 92; www.thi.it). La Villa Hotel (tel: 00 39 01 41 79 38 90; www.lavillahotel.net). Both hotels can organise a half day truffle hunt. If you try those first as they are used to setting it up it would be better but if you have no luck email me and I will try to organise something with our contacts there. Have fun and tell them you are serious, you don't want anything planted for a photo, which is what was suggested to me! We didn't find any white truffles but it was great to see the dog find the black ones. Good luck, let me know how you get on. Dear Mary

I will be in Alba September 29, 2007 and am hoping to find a Truffle Hunter and his dog to take my husband and I into the countryside for a hunt. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get this organized? I would not like to be part of a group but on our own with the Hunter/Hunters.
