What To Expect

Tuscan truffle hunting tour on the wood trails.

You will experience in first person an intense and exciting experience in search of the precious truffle. An expert truffle hunter will guide you through the wood trails of the Valdichiana Senese. The research will take time and patience, but with a little luck, at some point, you may see the specially-trained dogs starting wagging and sniffing more and more at a bush, or at the roots of a tree. Once found the first truffle Who knows if they will find others? At the end of the hunting, it will be time to sit down at the table to taste delicious recipes based on the precious truffle, paired with local wines.
