I've been spoiled enough to have eaten my way around the entire county of Italy: from the rolling hills of Emilia Romagna down to the coasts of Sicilia. I love Italy for many reasons, but its impeccable cuisine is at the top of that list. Yet, any time I'm craving a weekend getaway specifically for eating well, I find myself returning to the small Piemontese town of Alba.
Part of Alba's charm is that its climate is prime for growing truffles. While black truffles are possible to find year round, if you want to try some coveted white truffles, which are much rarer and harder to come by, you'll need to head to Alba in November or December.
