ABOUT THIS SERVICE Truffle Hunt in Tuscany Highlights Learn about this fascinating precious gourmet product Hunt truffles with real truffle-hunting dogs Walk in the beautiful Tuscan landscape Learn why truffles are such a sough-after gourmet treat! Truffle Hunt in Tuscany Program Have you ever imagined going on a walk in the Tuscan woods with a dog and truffle expert to hunt for truffles? The white truffle, the most precious, aromatic and expensive variety, grows only in Italy from October to December. Its aromas vanish very quickly, within a few days. Therefore the only way to taste high quality truffle is to find it and eat it within a day or two. The truffle hunt is an exciting and memorable experience, a sacred yet secret ritual rarely witnessed by outsiders and a special way to see Tuscany from a different prospective. Your truffle hunting day will start early in the morning, in the Tuscan Crete Senesi, among Italy’s most important truffle areas. Your local professional truffle hunter (and of course his dog!) will meet you at nine o’clock and accompany you on silent paths through the crisp, misty morning air of the Crete. You will look, listen, and learn and in the end you will almost certainly find the precious tuberous, a moment of great excitement. The truffle hunt lasts about an hour and a half. Then it's time to move to the farm and wine cellar for a tasting of local products and a guided sensorial analysis of truffle. Lunch at the farm is available on request at an extra charge of 30 euros per person.   What's Included in Your Truffle Hunt in Tuscany Truffle hunt with an expert truffle hunter and dog.
