Truffle Hunting in Tuscany and visit to a cellar

Let us introduce you to the world of Tuscan truffles, one of the most valued in Italy.

We will pick you up at your accommodation and we will bring you to hunt  and live this particular experience with an expert hunter (tartufaio).

The truffle hunter, with his own dog, will show you the technics to hunt a truffle and  after the hunting experience we will have  a delicious meal with truffle based dishes.
 In the end, we will visit  a winery and we will have a wine tasting.

Truffle is a rare, precious, refined , and  expensive food. Its typical penetrating perfume develops only after ripening to catch wild animals such as pigs, wild boar, badger, dormouse and fox, although it lies underground.

Italy is one of the major truffle producer and exporter.  The most important areas of production of the precious white truffle are Alba and the province of Asti, in Piedmont, the area of San Miniato, San Giovanni d’Asso (between Siena and Montalcino), in Tuscany , the area of Acqualagna (Pesaro-Urbino) and San Pietro Avellana (Isernia). The black truffle is more common, especially in Umbria and Tuscany.
