You'll enjoy some hours walking through typical woods, picking truffles along with a special guide, also an expert, but mostly a friend who will teach how to find truffles with the dog.
Hunt for rare truffles in the forest of Tuscany and then enjoy your treasures in a decadent meal. After lunch travel to the hills to experience the famous red wine of Tuscany.
The program starts at Fattoria Collebrunacchi where you will meet Francesca our truffle hunter. A group is always a small group of up to max 12 attendees. Francesca will explain the trick and secret of truffle hunting and how she has trained her dog Cioco. The stroll in the forest is an easy walk but it required that you have regular mobility. After the walk, we will go back to Francesca's house for a delicious lunch based on fresh truffles which typically include:
Truffle appetizers, pasta topped with shaved truffles (tagliolini al tartufo) , and dessert including Vin Santo wine. Francesca farm produces also some great red and white wines so during lunch you could have a delicious match with them.
The Francesca's farm is also an ideal place for your purchases of truffles, here you will find quality and great value!

This went above and beyond my expectations. We went hiking through the woods with the dog and it was fun finding all the truffles. Then we went back to the house and had an excellent three-course meal centered around truffles. A few glasses of wine were included too. I really liked the social aspect of it. Would highly recommend it!
