About this Truffle Hunting Tour
This truffle hunting experience in Tuscany is far more than a simple walk in the woods. It is an immersive, educational journey into the hidden world of truffles—one of the most fascinating and valuable ingredients in Italian gastronomy.
Led by an experienced guide and accompanied by a trained truffle-hunting dog, you’ll explore the Tuscan countryside while learning
what truffles really are, how they grow underground, and why they depend on a delicate natural ecosystem. Along the way, you’ll discover the surprising similarities between truffle networks and the web of connections found in nature and technology.
During the experience, you’ll gain clear, practical answers to questions many people ask:
-
What exactly defines a truffle?
-
Can truffles be cultivated, or are they only wild?
-
Why are some truffles so rare and valuable?
-
How are dogs trained to find truffles, and why they are essential?
This experience is designed to be hands-on, informative, and accessible, even if you have never been truffle hunting before. You’ll observe real techniques used in traditional truffle hunting and learn insider knowledge rarely shared outside this region.
After the hunt, the experience continues at the table. You’ll enjoy a truffle tasting paired with farm-fresh products and local wines, allowing you to fully appreciate the aroma, flavor, and character of freshly harvested truffles in a relaxed, authentic setting.
With flexible timing, small group sizes, and a balance between nature, learning, and food, this tour is ideal for food lovers, curious travelers, couples, and families looking for a genuine Tuscan experience beyond the usual tourist routes.

An amazing experience with Marta, Mauro and Aisha (the chocolate truffle hunting lab). This is a must do trip if you’re in the area!! The food and wine were spectacular as were our hosts. And buy the wine!!! Very reasonably priced for the high quality. This is how wine used to be made - old school winery, not your normal wine tasting tour. A highlight of our trip to Tuscany.

We had a fantastic day at the farm. The owner personally walked us through the wine making process, wheat making process, truffle hunting with their adorable dog, followed by a pasta making class and an incredible meal under a vine-draped pergola. Our family couldn’t have asked for a better day and we could recommend this team more!

A highlight of our trip to Italy! Such a great opportunity to learn about truffle cultivation and wine production from Mauro. Our kids especially loved spending time with Aisha, his adorable and friendly truffle-hunting dog. The food Mauro and his wife, Marta, prepared for us for lunch was one of our best meals of the entire trip. A unique experience that we would absolutely recommend to anyone!
