Full description
He who finds a truffle finds a treasure. Ah, wasn't that so?
If you too remember this version of the saying, participate in our truffle hunt: you will venture into a forest near Perugia in the company of a truffle hunter and his trusty dog; and yes, you will actively participate in the extraction of the 'treasure'!
An experience of over 1 hour, to which you can add a truffle-themed aperitif or light lunch.
What we will do
I will be waiting for you at 10 a.m. at the meeting point in Perugia (PG). To welcome you there will be me, a truffle hunter, in the company of my Lagotto Romagnolo!
Once all the participants have gathered, we will each board our own means of transport to reach the venue; the transfer will take about 15 minutes.
Once in the truffle hunting scenario, I will give a brief introduction during which I will provide you with all the information you need for the activity. We will venture into a forest of plants that favour the proliferation of truffles and, step by step, I will impart all my knowledge and passion on the subject: what varieties grow, at what times of the year they grow, how dogs are trained, and many other curiosities. In the meantime, we will follow the truffle dog which, once it has smelled the presence of the 'treasure', will start digging: you can help me extract it with a rasp!
Depending on the time of year, we will hunt for the variety of truffle that grows in the month of the experience; if you wish, you can buy the truffle we have found together.
The truffle hunt will last 1 hour; we will then return to the car park, for a total duration of 1 ½ hours.
If you select the"truffle hunt + aperitif" option, you can add an aperitif of cold meats accompanied by a glass of wine to the experience. By selecting the "truffle hunt+ light lunch" option, you will be able to add to the experience a light lunch in a truffle-themed restaurant that includes a starter, dessert, water and wine; by selecting the"truffle hunt + lunch" option, you will be able to add to the experience a lunch in a truffle-themed restaurant that includes a starter, main course, side dish, dessert, water and wine.
