Truffle hunting

Discover the magic of truffle hunting guided by a true expert: Virgilio, our mustachioed truffle hunter with an exceptional nose. Together, we will explore the woods of our farm, surrounded by the scents of the earth and the sounds of the undergrowth, in search of the precious underground fungus that has enchanted chefs and food lovers around the world for centuries. It will be a sensory and cultural journey where nature, tradition, and the partnership between man and dog intertwine in an ancient ritual.

Guided by Virgilio, you will see the forest through his nose, recognize the subtle signals that precede every discovery, and be amazed by the intelligence of this extraordinary four-legged companion. Every step in the woods tells a story, every truffle found is a small miracle of nature… and you will be part of this unique adventure.
