truffle hunting

Truffle hunting is an amazing experience for both adults and kids. Truffles are available only in France, Italy, Croatia and few other areas in the world but the Italian ones are by far the most prestigious ones. As they are available all year round, you will have the chance to try them during your vacation  in Tuscany. In fact, you may have them on a dish of Pasta or simply shaved on fried eggs. Just delicious!

During this tour, just a short distance from Montisi, we will enter the woods on a truffle hunt, accompanied by an expert truffle hunter and his adorable dogs. You will learn all the secrets of the Tuscan truffle, its characteristics, its properties, varieties, how to preserve them and how to use them in the kitchen. There are lots of truffles in the area around Montisi and Montalcino: the village of San Giovanni D’Asso even holds an annual Truffle festival each November and March.

As said, truffles can be found all year round: black truffles are found during the spring and summer months. They are easier to find and therefore cheaper, while the white truffles, the more prestigious, can be found in autumn / winter but their prices can be very high. So be ready to be surprised and amazed by this underground wonder of Tuscany.
