Italy · TRUFFLE HUNTING EXPERIENCES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 truffle hunting experiences worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Hunt truffles with Francesca and her trained dog near San Miniato, then enjoy a fresh-truffle lunch and Tuscan wine at a family farm.
“It’s a great experience. Warm and welcoming hosts and environment. Fun to walk the grounds and look for truffles with their dog who didn’t disappoint. Lunch was delicious and a nice way to meet other people.”
Florence food tour with truffle pasta, Florentine steak, aged balsamic, gelato, and free-flowing wine in a small English-speaking group.
“Amazing food, wine and history lesson. Kat was amazing!!! Will recommend food and wine tour to friends!”
Hunt Piedmont truffles with a local trifolao and dog, learn the craft, and add wine tasting with Barolo or Barbaresco.
“I learned a lot about the work that goes into truffle hunting starting with the training of the dogs at an early age and the familial expertise tied to truffle hunting. Margherita, our tour guide was a wealth of information, and Giovanni and Turbo (the loyal truffle hunting dog) were great hosts! Great for experience for kids and foodies alike!!”
Make two fresh pastas, tiramisù, and enjoy Tuscan wine in an intimate Florence cooking class with a personal chef.
“We had a wonderful time making pasta and eating it! Valentino was our cooking class teacher and he was great - very funny and friendly!”
Pick a ruin, a gallery, a kitchen or a boat.
