Following the success of its Thailand debut in 2024, Riva del Fiume Ristorante at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River is set to host the XXVI World Alba White Truffle Auction on Sunday, November 9, 2025. This iconic event celebrates one of Italy’s most exquisite culinary treasures, the Alba White Truffle, and unites chefs, collectors, and philanthropists in a global tradition of fine dining and giving.

Guided by his Italian heritage, Accordi crafts an elegant menu that highlights the season’s rarest truffles, with subtle inspiration from his international experiences.

• Gabriele Boffa of Locanda del Sant’Uffizio, Piedmont, whose cuisine fuses local tradition with global techniques, earning two Michelin stars.

Rounding out the team is Executive Pastry Chef Andrea Bonaffini of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, whose spent more than 20 years across Europe and Asia, allowing him to craft desserts that merge classical technique with contemporary creativity, ensuring the evening concludes on a note as refined and memorable as the truffle-focused feast.

The event culminates in a live auction broadcast from Italy, offering guests the season’s most prized truffles, carefully selected by Enoteca Regionale Piemontese Cavour. All proceeds support the Border Patrol Police School Foundation (BSF) under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, funding education for hill tribe children in remote areas of Thailand.
