Guided visits to discover the travel: winter 2015 in Valdegovía- Álava


The tourist and leisure services company, NOSCO, once again brings you closer to the world of mycology in general and in particular to that of the Truffle.



NOSCO, together with restaurants in Valdegovía´s valley (Álava), is organising day trips where you can discover all the secrets of winter truffles.



Valdegovía´s Valley is home to an enormous natural and historical/architectural richness , which goes hand in hand with the peacefullness of its towns.



We offer you a visit to a tartufaia  ( a cultivated farm with mycorrhizal trees which grow  the fungus of the black winter truffle(Tuber melanosporum)  in the town of Alavés de Basabe.



Aided by our truffle hunting dog we will enjoy the search following the dog as it smells the ground to check if there really are truffles- you will never forget the very strong smell of the forest, the unearthing of the truffle, rewarding the dog for its good work and filling up the hole created. After thoroughly washing them the only thing left to do is to sit down at the table and try them.
