Truffle hunting in Tuscany with lunch & wine

Experience one of Tuscany’s most authentic and luxurious countryside traditions with an unforgettable day designed by Artviva, Florence’s original boutique tour company with over 20 years of crafting high-end, culturally rich experiences.

This exclusive tour invites you to join a professional truffle hunter and highly trained dogs in the rolling hills of Tuscany for a private or small-group search. As you walk through oak and chestnut woods, your guide will share fascinating insights into the world of truffles, their history, culinary value, and the delicate ecosystems that produce them. You’ll learn to identify the signs of truffles underground and watch the dogs skillfully locate these precious treasures.

Once your truffle hunt is complete, you’ll head to a prestigious countryside estate for a gourmet Tuscan lunch featuring freshly found truffles prepared in classic local dishes. Every bite celebrates the unique earthy aroma of this delicacy, complemented by seasonal ingredients from the region.

Your experience continues with an exclusive wine tasting led by a sommelier or estate expert, sampling a curated selection of premium wines, including Chianti Classico, Super Tuscans, or other local varietals. Learn about Tuscany’s winemaking heritage and discover perfect pairings for truffle-based cuisine. The pace is relaxed, allowing you to savor both the scenery and the stories behind this age-old tradition.
