Description

Discover the Secrets of Truffles & how to use it.

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable truffle adventure, where you will first learn how to hunt for truffles in the woods with an expert truffle hunter and their trained dogs, followed by a hands-on cooking class featuring this prized ingredient.

Under the guidance of our expert chef, you will learn how to prepare authentic truffle-based dishes using freshly harvested truffles, transforming them into a delicious meal that you will later enjoy, paired with our organic wines, extra virgin olive oils, and balsamic vinegar.

Attention: the distance from our winery to the truffle area can vary depending on the seasonality of the truffle (from 5 minutes by car to a maximum of 20). Guests should arrange the transfer by themselves. We also advise you to wear trekking shoes and comfortable clothes.
