Truffle hunting on our property is a unique experience that must be absolutely tried if you are in our area! The day starts in the morning at 10:30 in spring (a little earlier in summer to avoid excessive heat) together with the "truffle hunter", a professional who, together with his inseparable Lagotto from Romagna with an exceptional nose for truffles, he will take you to the woods of the property in search of the precious and very fragrant truffle. You will be in direct contact with nature for about 45 minutes, actively participating in the search for the "black gold" and learning many things about this ancient activity that has been taking place in Tuscany for hundreds of years.
Then in the mid-morning returning to the farm you will learn how to make fresh pasta (tagliatelle) which will be served to you for lunch.
Lunch will be served on the splendid terrace overlooking the vineyards and our olive grove: you can relax and enjoy our homemade lunch!

We joined the truffle hunting + pasta making class and it is definitely the highlight of our Tuscany trip! The view at the farm was breathtaking. The truffle hunt experience was very eye opening, we got a bunch of Bianchetto truffles!! Making our own pasta and having lunch with this amazing view - we just couldn’t ask for more. The hosts are super duper nice, showed great hospitality and we are definitely coming back if we visit Tuscany again. Highly recommend!!!

What an amazing and unique experience! Camilla, Fabrizzio, and Niccolo welcomed us into their home and gave us a real Tuscan experience. We started our day going on a truffle hunt with professional truffle hunter, JaMarco and his dog. Then, we used the truffles we found in our pasta lunch. We learned to make homemade pasta. We ate appetizers and drank wine in the greenhouse. The whole property has amazing views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The food was amazing! After our pasta we finished off our meal with dessert. This was our favorite experience in Tuscany and we would recommend to anyone!

What an amazing day! Started off with a truffle hunt led by Giancarlo and Afro. Was so interesting to learn about the types of truffles and how the dogs are trained to find them. We went at the end of the season but still the dog was able to find many truffles. Then onward to the farm and we made pasta ( including ravioli). A feast for dinner, an amazing view, a lovely family and delectable treats- truffle salt, truffle honey, truffle oil, truffle appetizers, truffle on pasta! We were so full still didn’t need breakfast the next morning! If you are considering truffle hunting you won’t be disappointed!

This was a one of a kind experience! We got to meet and spend the day with the farmer! We went truffle hunting with Afro, and while we were not guaranteed to find any black truffles, we found 17! It was a great hunt! Fabizio was extremely knowledgeable and was excited to tell us his story of the farm and his family. My husband and I both found him very interesting to listen too. After truffle hunting, we learned to make pasta, again from the farmer! We were the only ones on the hunt that day, so we had a lovely lunch for 2!

What an immersive experience. Fabrizio and Camilla welcomed us into their family and farm. We had a surreal truffle hunt with Macchia (trained) dog who found over a dozen fresh black truffles for us. Afterwards we had a great time making fresh egg noodles pasta. Camilla topped it all off with charcuterie and crostini. Fabrizio enhanced the meal with a his own vintage white and red wine. Highly recommend !!!

Amazing! If you are looking to tick every box for Tuscany in one go you should do this experience. Beginning the day with a walk through ancient forests, accompanied by the experienced truffle hunter and his dog, as well as the host, it was the unforgettable. Could have spent all day just sitting on a log and absorbing the surroundings. Following the truffle hunt (found 6-8), we went back to the house and made truffle pasta from scratch, enjoyed a glass of wine while we walked the grounds and took in the serenity. The lunch was cooked by the hosts and their son (one of the courses was the pasta and made), and felt somewhere between a lovingly home-cooked meal and a Michelin star restaurant. The hosts made us feel at home and had a wealth of knowledge about the area and its produce.
Book this! You won’t regret it.

This amazing experience was the highlight of our trip to Italy! I am not exaggerating when I say it felt like something straight out of a movie. We arrived at the farm in the morning and spent an hour exploring the surrounding woods looking for truffles with our guide and his dog. It was so much fun following them through the woods in hunt of the truffles below the leaves. After we found several perfect truffles, we returned to the farmhouse and learned how to make fresh pasta with the owners. They were so generous and made us feel like we were welcomed friends. Their kindness and hospitality was above and beyond. We enjoyed a delicious lunch with food and wine grown on the farm and the pasta and truffles from earlier. The food was some of the best we had on our whole vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience to anyone that loves great food and a little adventure!
