Plan

Truffle hunting is a traditional experience that takes place in the woods, led by experienced truffle hunters and their trained dogs. Depending on the season, you will have to choose the suitable habitat for the truffle.

The experience can last 1 hour or 2 depending on the package you choose. Through careful searching in the undergrowth, the dog locates the truffle underground, while the truffle hunter interprets the signs and collects the precious mushroom. It is an activity that combines nature, tradition and discovery of the area.

At the end of the experience, you can end it with a lunch or a tasting dinner, through some collaborations we have in the area.
