An amazing experience with our hosts 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 our host. Our kids especially loved spending time with Aisha, his adorable and friendly truffle-hunting dog. The food our host and his wife 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!
