Overview

The uncontaminated nature, the relationship with my sweet dogs, the silence of the woods interrupted only by birdsong. All this is the background to the discovery of one of the oldest and most secret jobs in Tuscany: that of the truffle hunter. The truffle for its underground nature, for its delicacy and for its great economic value has always fascinated man, having a leading role in Tuscan culture and tables. During the truffle hunting experience we will walk the paths where truffles are naturally born. All the secrets about the truffle will be explained, the plants that live in symbiosis with him and the training of the dogs; and if we are lucky we will also be able to find some nice truffles. Adults and children will have a great time following the dog and helping me to extract the truffle from the ground. They will also learn a lot about truffles and nature.

What’s included

  • Tour in the woods in search of truffles with dogs for 1-1.5 hours
  • Tasting of truffle products with a glass of local wine

When Aki starts digging you always hope it's a big truffle...
In some cases the truffle is deep and requires a long time to be extracted...
I would say that Aki was very good and lucky...
The scent of freshly dug truffles is inebriating and indescribable...
