The famous and secretive White Alba Truffle from the region of the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero hills attracts aficionados of haute cuisine to the 76th annual Fiera Nazionale del Tartufo Bianco d’Alba. Travel with Ascona’s Hotel Eden Roc to Alba and revel in wine tasting at the Vietti winery and a meal at the world-renowned La Ciau del Tornavento, the restaurant where truffles are king. Gourmets’ hearts will also leap at the thought of an ensuing visit to the truffle market. Stay at the hotel for 3 nights from the 18th-21st October 2006 in a double room for CHF 1,425 (€950) per person, inclusive of breakfast and trip to Alba.
