Triumphant truffle hunting and wonder wine tasting monteforte - We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The truffle hunting was in the woods and boots were provided if desired. It was wonderful to be in the forest and see first hand how truffles are hunted. The dogs found a dozen white truffles. Afterwards the wine tasting was so informative and Marina made it intimate. We sample 6 wines and she even let us sample another before buying. She also provided information about the region and paired cheeses. I would highly recommend this package experience

Adventures with Dogs in Italy - Following the dogs and their owner through the woods was magical. This part of Italy is steep and dense. The tree canopy kept us dry from the rain while it held a light fog. Our host had been a truffle hunter for over 60 years! The guide was an excellent translator and we learned so much. Would definitely do this again.

A hidden gem of an experience - We were in the Emilia Romagna region and we decided at the last minute to visit the Piedmont for a day. The experience of truffle hunting seemed unique, and based on the reviews here, we took a shot at it. It was probably the best experience during our trip -- and that is a lot to say since the other places we had visited had been amazing as well. We had even joked that we may find ourselves in someones backyard with a dog and pony show... but no, we actually went into the woods and saw the dog's ability to find and dig for truffles. Her name is Pina. It's so amazing how she could spot them. The truffle hunter was fully italian and the guide translated as he explained. Both are wonderful people. We then went to a winery to visit and taste three wines. They were all very good. The person making the presentation even recommended a handful of great restaurants to have lunch. My wife and I recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
