You will take part in a once-in-a-lifetime experience and search for truffles with a truffle-hunting dog through the woods of Tuscany.

Our truffle hunting experience with Francesca and Vittorio was truly unforgettable! The scenic drive to the property took less than an hour. Despite the rain the night before, we were able to find a few truffles during the hunt, thanks to the expert dogs of our guide Francesca. The property was breathtaking, offering a serene and picturesque backdrop for our tour. Afterward, we enjoyed an amazing lunch and wine. The food was incredible, and it was the perfect way to end a perfect day. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, I can't recommend booking with Francesca and Vittorio enough. It truly was one of the highlights of our trip and one that we will cherish for a lifetime.
