Discover the real world of Italian truffle hunting with a group or private experience led by Flavia, a local expert, 2 trained dogs, and generations of authentic food tradition, made by Mamma Laura.

This is not a standard tourist activity.
It is a real immersion into local Italian food and culture.

Discover the world of truffles with experts who truly experience it every day!

Discover authentic truffle hunting in Italy

For us, truffle hunting is not a trend or a luxury attraction.

It is part of our land, our family, and our everyday life.

Together with Flavia, an experienced truffle hunter, and her Lagotto Romagnolo dogs Trilli and Maya, you will explore the woods and truffle grounds in search of seasonal black truffles. In season and with lots of luck it is also possible to find white truffles!

You won’t simply watch — you will actively participate, learn, and experience truffle hunting firsthand.
