Our Truffle Hunting Experience:
Live a 3-hour experience on the Parma hills and become a truffle hunter for a day, guided by Flavia and her two truffle dogs.
At the end of the hunt an amazing truffle lunch (or dinner) cooked by Mamma Laura will wait for you, so that you'll also join a Truffle Food Tour (vegetarian, vegan options are also available). Tempted? :)
As you arrive you will be welcomed by our truffle dogs (Lagotto Romagnolo) Trilli, Maya and Ludo, hard workers and also part of our family!
We'll start the hunting from our truffle farm and continue into the surrounding woods. Immersed in the nature of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (we are 1 hour drive from the amazing Parma Food Valley and 1 hour drive from La Spezia/Cinque Terre and 1:30 drive from Milan), our dogs will lead you to the truffles, which you'll dig out with your own hands.
Depending on the season, we can find black summer truffles or fall truffles.
The truffle hunting can last between an hour and an hour and a half (it will depend on how much we manage to find!) and will end with a lunch (or dinner) depending on the start time. You'll taste our truffles (the very fresh ones you'll find with the dogs) and our homemade truffle products, all freshly cooked by "chef" Laura :)
It will be a one in a lifetime and unforgettable experience with locals, we promise! :)
The perfect experience for dog lovers, hikers and foodies!
Vegetarian and vegan guests are very welcome. Let us know in advance if you have food allergies, intolerances and/or preferences.
It is possible to add extra homemade dishes with local food: Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano (did you know there is also mountain parmesan?) and last but non least porcini mushrooms (we are in one of the best Italian areas for Porcino) directly from our woods. Tempted? :)
We can also arrange a pickup service from the railway station Solignano or Berceto upon request for max. 4 people. For more than 4 people please contact us. You need to take a train to Solignano (if you are travelling, for example, from Parma/Modena/Bologna central station) or to Berceto (if you are travelling from La Spezia or Cinque Terre). You can check train timetable on trenitalia.com. We are looking forward to meeting you!
