Truffle hunting: A wonderful adventure surrounded by the enchanting landscape of Chianti, Tuscany.

Have you ever participated in a truffle hunt? In Tuscany it is possible to find a truffle for all those who are already experts and also for those who still do not know the mysterious world of truffles. Our expert truffle hunter Elisa will guide you in the discovery of truffles, she will explain the virtues of this particular tuber and the possible culinary recipes with the use of truffles.

Truffle hunting in Chianti can be a unique and enjoyable experience for a variety of reasons.

Chianti is a picturesque region located in central Tuscany renowned for its rolling hills, vineyards, and beautiful countryside. An opportunity to see this beautiful area and take part in a distinctive cultural activity is presented by a truffle hunting tour.

With the help of this enjoyable and educational experience, you can learn about and sample one of the most expensive and exclusive foods in the entire world. Truffles are a type of underground mushrooms that are highly prized for their distinctive flavour and aroma.

This is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and interests. If you enjoy food, are a fan of nature, or are just looking for a fun and memorable experience, it can be a great way to spend your time.

With her truffle dog, Elisa will take you to the truffle ground, a space in the woods where the terroir is ideal for the growth of truffles.

Elisa's little dog, trained in truffle hunting, will show you the place where the best tuber is found, it is there that you will have to dig with special tools and finally the fragrant truffle will see the light. The black truffle of Tuscany is a very valuable variety that grows in territories based on limestone rocks. It is particularly found in the Chianti area, has a warty external appearance with small whitish veins and infuses its inebriating scent throughout the surrounding environment.

Once we have found the truffle to cook, we will go to visit a local cellar

We will do a tasting of three Chianti wines with a taste of cold cuts, bruschetta, cheese and local oil, enjoying the rows of vines, the cypresses and the handmade landscape typical of the Chianti countryside.

Once properly refreshed, we will go to the farmhouse, where your personal chef will teach you how to knead and create homemade pasta, the fresh pasta that you will enjoy at sunset, in the beautiful roof garden, all around you will enjoy a surreal panorama of the Chianti countryside with an excellent glass of Chianti in hand. A pleasure for the palate: homemade pasta with truffles! To round off this exquisite dinner cantuccini and vinsanto, of course!

This will be one of the best days of your life!
