Overview
Truffle hunting in the woods of a Renaissance villa is a fascinating experience that combines tradition and nature. Immersed in the green hills, expert seekers accompanied by their dogs follow the smell of fine truffles, rediscovering an ancient art. After the harvest, we move on to the tasting of fine wines produced in the cellars of the villa, where every sip tells the story of the territory. Alcohol will not be served to anyone under 18. The activity is low level of physical difficulty but because it is carried out in the woods it is not accessible in wheelchairs or with strollers.
