Private Tour Truffle Hunting with lunch from Chianti
Wooded hills and fresh mountain air set the stage for an unforgettable Tuscan truffle experience in the Chianti highlands. After hotel pickup, participants travel into the countryside while learning about Tuscany’s prized truffles, their seasonal cycles, and why they are among the world’s most sought-after delicacies. The experience continues in a quiet woodland, where a local truffle hunter and a specially trained dog lead the search. As the dog works the forest floor, stories and traditions surrounding truffle hunting bring this age-old practice to life.
Watching the dog uncover a fragrant truffle from the soil is a highlight of the day. The experience concludes with a relaxed picnic-style lunch featuring truffle-based dishes that showcase the ingredient’s earthy aroma and rich flavor. Time is set aside to savor the tasting and soak in the peaceful rural setting before returning to the city by private vehicle.
