We had such a fantastic time!!! This was hands down one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. We got to learn all about different truffles, how they grow, and the process of searching for them. We got to search for truffles in the woods with both Chicha and Bia. So much fun! Once we found a good number of truffles we headed back to the vila where we got to explore the cellar where they make their wine and olive oil. When we made our way to the table we found a lovely plate of antipasto waiting for us. After a quick bite we washed the truffles while we waited for the homemade pasta. After the truffles were washed, pasta was placed in front of us and we were told to shave a generous amount of truffle onto our pasta. The truffle was so fresh! To top it all off we had homemade tiramisu. Absolutely delicious!!! This was a top notch experience! We had a blast! A once in a lifetime experience for sure!!!

This was our favorite thing we did on our trip to Tuscany. The host meet us at a central location to follow him to his property. This made it super easy for us to get there on time. We started by learning about truffles, hunted for them with their dogs Bia and Ciccina, and then enjoyed an amazing meal with our findings which the hosts joined us for. I can’t say enough good things about this experience! Must do!
