Description
A truffle hunting tour from Florence swaps the busy streets for hills and forests, and the transport is included both ways. In the countryside you meet an expert truffle hunter and the dogs trained for the job for a real search under oak and hazelnut trees.
As you walk, the guide tells how the tradition developed and how it carries on today, and you watch the dogs track down fresh truffles. Comfortable walking shoes matter here, because the hunt happens in the woods, and a bottle of water is a good idea.
Lunch follows at a family-run estate in the middle of nature: four courses of seasonal Tuscan cooking with fresh truffles, served with wines from the region, at an unhurried pace.
- Truffle hunt with professional hunters and dogs
- Four-course farmhouse lunch with truffles
- Local wine tasting alongside the dishes
- Round-trip transport from Florence
- English-speaking local guide
The outing takes about five hours as a small group experience. The menu can change with the day or season, and vegetarian or gluten-free needs can be noted when booking. It is not suitable for guests with severe food allergies. At least two guests are needed for it to run.
