Truffle Hunting with Tasting
The Complete Experience:
Hunting and Local Flavours
For those who aren’t content merely with finding truffles, but wish to appreciate their culinary value, this is the ultimate experience. A journey that begins in the heart of the nature reserve and ends at the table, celebrating the perfect marriage between the bounty of the earth and the fine wines of Montalcino.
The Thrill of Exploration: In the Heart of the Forest
The adventure begins on the trails of our reserve, where you’ll experience first-hand the thrill of truffle hunting alongside our ever-faithful Lagotti dogs. Guided by our experts, you’ll learn to read nature’s signs and witness with your own eyes that magical moment when the dog, with precision and delicacy, uncovers the hidden treasure.
We will show you how truffles are carefully harvested to preserve their integrity, and how every find is the result of a perfect balance between man, animal and the environment.
The Art of Taste: From Farm to Table
On returning from the truffle ground, the experience moves to the farm for a true sensory journey. During the guided tasting, you’ll discover all the secrets to making the most of truffles: from proper cleaning and storage techniques to the best pairings with local produce.
You’ll be able to savour freshly harvested truffles, bringing out every aromatic note with a glass of local wine, for a finale that celebrates the convivial atmosphere and authentic flavours of Montalcino.
