Escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a culinary adventure in the idyllic countryside near Florence. Embark on a captivating journey as you hunt for delectable truffles and relish an authentic Tuscan feast, perfectly paired with exceptional wines from the region.
You get picked up from your hotel in Florence and driven out into the Tuscan countryside, where a professional truffle hunter and their trained dog are waiting. For an hour, you'll walk in the forest together, watching the dog work, learning what the hunter looks for and how to tell good truffle ground from the rest. When something is found, you'll understand why this ingredient commands the prices it does.
From the forest, the group moves to a traditional Tuscan estate for a four-course lunch built entirely around what the land produces. Truffle antipasti to start, handmade pasta with fresh truffle, a second course, and a dessert, with excellent local wines poured alongside each. The family that hosts this experience has been here a long time. The food tastes like it.
At the end of the afternoon, you're driven back to your hotel. Five hours, rolling hills, and a lunch most people never manage to find on their own.
