Tours / Truffle Hunt in the Woods of Tuscany

Looking for an exclusive and genuine experience which will stay in your memory forever? Join a truffle hunt in the woods of Tuscany accompanied by an experienced truffle hunter and then taste a delicious truffle-based lunch in a charming location! The truffles will be hunting have nothing to do with chocolate treats or with dessert truffles! They are a real pleasure for the palate, so much delightful as they are rare to find which is why in Italy they use dogs which have been especially trained in order to scent truffles growing underground, usually at the base of oak trees.

If you want to spend a day in Tuscany living an authentic experience, join our truffle hunting and learn all the secret of this fancy delicacy.

In the morning, we will be accompanied by a “tartufaio” (truffle hunter) and his dogs in a nice walk in the woods not far from Florence hunting for this delicious delicacy. He will tell you all the secrets of this difficult profession, such as how truffle dogs are trained in order to be able to sniff out this precious food and how to distinguish the different types of truffles.

Did you know for example that the most expensive is the white truffle which can sell for as much as $ 3600 a pound?

Fortunately, Tuscany is very rich in different varieties of truffles, some of which are more affordable, but obviously finding a white truffle will certainly make your day! After our hunt the “tartufaio” will invite us for lunch in a typical Tuscan countryside house, and under the shadows of centuries-old olive trees, we will taste rigorously truffle based dishes! Our truffle hunt in the woods of Tuscany is the most fabulous and genuinely Tuscan experience you can treat yourself with while visiting Italy!
