Additional Information

In search of an extraordinary and memorable adventure? Sign up for our truffle hunting excursion with Irene and her canine companion, Tep. Our licensed guide will shepherd you through the forest trails of Tuscany, sharing lore and traditions connected to the region and the history of truffle search. She will instruct you on identifying the trees under which truffles thrive, comprehend their perfect environment for growth, and guide you on how to store and prepare them. While the search requires endurance and patience, the moment Tep’s tail begins to wag and he continually sniffs around a bush or tree root, burrowing his snout into the earth and digging, there is no doubt that treasure lies beneath! And Tep promptly gets a well-deserved treat for his hard-earned find. The number of truffles Tep uncovers may vary, but one thing is certain, after an engaging and strenuous walk, you’ll return to our starting point, our villa, where a delightful reward awaits you!

Amazing all around! The truffle girls were awesome! - This was an amazing experience!! The truffle girls were so knowledgeable and gave us such a nice stroll through the woods to find some truffles for our lunch. We not only got 10 truffles but we had a great time doing it! It was so fun to learn about how truffles grow and the proper conditions and watching Tap (the truffle doggie) search. Was truly an experience you’d never have as a native New Yorker! The lunch was also amazing cooked by a private chef and was soooo good! We had such a fun time and can’t wait to come back to Tuscany with our family to do it again! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience!

Top Experience - I had an incredible time experiencing a truffle hunt followed by dinner at Sichef. The truffle hunt was engaging and exciting, and the dinner at Sichef was a culinary masterpiece. The flavors were exquisite, and the service was impeccable. The staff's attention to detail and the chef's skill in highlighting the truffle's flavors truly impressed me. This is an unforgettable experience that perfectly combines adventure and gourmet dining. Highly recommended!

Tourist trap? - Hunting was good but the dinner was very simple and did not meet any of our expectations Cooking experience was replaced by a very unexperience chef with a mediocre menu
