Experience Description:
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of truffle hunting in Tuscany. The experience begins with a brief introduction to the secrets of truffles and the trained dogs that make this unique activity possible.
You will then enter the woods near San Gimignano, in search of fresh truffles hidden beneath the soil. Every exploration is different: sometimes the harvest is abundant, other times more limited, but the thrill of discovery is always part of the experience. Thanks to local experience in selecting the right areas, the chances of success are always high.
At the end of the truffle hunt, each participant will receive a few fresh truffles along with useful tips on how to best enjoy them.
After the experience in the woods, the day continues in the historic center of San Gimignano, where you will enjoy a complete truffle-based lunch in a unique setting.
The restaurant is a garden nestled between the medieval towers of San Gimignano, allowing you to immerse yourself in history, surrounded by the flavors and aromas that only Tuscany can offer.
