25 Oct 2026 | Truffle hunting in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines with lunch or dinner

You’ve stayed in our hearts!

Flavia and her wonderful little dogs, Trilly and Maya, were fantastic truffle hunters and, above all, they managed to draw us right into the experience! What stands out most about Flavia is the love she has for her life and her work, which – together with her mum, Laura, an EXCELLENT COOK whose INCREDIBLE menu we had the honour of tasting – she manages to convey to all of us, who until a few hours ago were complete strangers… An experience we can’t wait to repeat! Heartfelt thanks from Francesca and Luigi ❤️

An absolutely wonderful experience!...

An absolutely wonderful experience!nDomenico was an amazing guide; he explained everything with great enthusiasm and answered every question with patience and dedication. And the dogs, Cuba and Titta – they were the stars of the show! Such an amazing, friendly and clever pair. nThis is an experience not to be missed if you’re visiting the San Gimignano area!

28 Oct 2026 | Truffle hunting with wine tasting and Langhe specialities in Monforte d’Alba

A wonderful experience with Luna and her owner!

A wonderful experience: Luna is an expert; it was lovely to witness the joy Gigi took in her work. The tour, meal, wine and hospitality exceeded our expectations. We’re new to the region and would have appreciated knowing the distance and cost of the taxi journey far enough in advance to allow us to hire a car. Despite this, it was a fantastic tour and comes highly recommended!

26 Oct 2026 | Truffle hunting with wine tasting and Langhe specialities in Monforte d’Alba

This activity was...

This activity was the highlight of my three weeks in Tuscany. Luigi (Gigi) explained everything involved in truffle hunting, from training his lovely dog, Luna, to where and how truffles grow, and the impact of the climate. Chiara, our knowledgeable guide and interpreter, was excellent, not only in terms of translating, but also in providing insight into other aspects of Italy. The hunt was very exciting; when Luna started digging, Gigi ran over to her, shouting, “Luna, porta!”, then knelt down beside her to accept the prized truffle that Luna had unearthed. nAfter a very successful hunt, we gathered together, joined by Vincenzo, the winery’s founder, his wife and daughter, Gabriella, where we enjoyed generous portions of antipasti and Nebbiolo and Barolo wines in the warm company of this lovely family. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Vincenzo serenaded us with a song. Unforgettable!

01 Nov 2026 | Truffle hunting in Monforte d'Alba

A fantastic experience in the heart of the Langhe!

Yesterday morning’s truffle hunt in Monforte d’Alba was truly unforgettable! Witnessing the perfect rapport between the truffle hunter and his dog, and the thrill of the find in the autumnal woodland, was simply magical. The guide shared lots of anecdotes and interesting facts with great enthusiasm. A truly authentic experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
