Truffle hunting with Lunch de-luxe: the ultimate Tuscan experience

Itinerary

After pick-up you will be chauffeured to the gentle hills that crown the Arno valley just south of the Renaissance capital where the soil also yields excellent truffles. With the help of an English-speaking private guide, you will spend about 1½ hours in the woods searching for truffles under the expert guidance of a professional truffle hunter and his fully-trained two dogs.

Watch the irresistible dogs – the real stars of the day! - sniff out the prized tubers, while his two-legged team-leader explains the search techniques and introduces you to the territory and its truffle varieties with their different quality factors and seasonality. And once the dog locates a truffle, have fun digging it out with your own hands! At the end of the hunt, you will be treated to a luscious Lunch starting with crostini topped with your own digged truffles and a toast with sparkling white wine, and continuing with a full Tuscan menu based on truffles, from home-made tagliatelle to a traditional dessert, including the famous Florentine steak, all washed with a high quality Chianti wine and the Vinsanto and held in a luxury location in view of the most ancient vinyards of Chianti Classico area.
