We are in a proper forest, not a city park. It is essential to wear hiking shoes<\/b> or boots with non-slip soles. We recommend dressing in layers and wearing long trousers, even in summer, to protect yourself from the undergrowth. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The walk through the woods lasts on average between 1\u00bd and 2 hours<\/b>. If you\u2019ve chosen the experience that includes a tasting, allow around 3 hours <\/b>in total to enjoy the walk at a leisurely pace. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, the paths in our nature reserve are accessible, but they do involve walking on unpaved, slightly uneven ground.

We love animals dearly, but we cannot allow dogs <\/b>from outside the reserve to enter. The presence of another animal would distract our Lagotti, making their delicate tracking work impossible. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Truffles are wild fungi, and their growth depends on rainfall, temperature and luck. Thanks to the care we take of our truffle grounds and the keen sense of smell of our dogs, we are very likely to find some<\/b>, but we cannot guarantee it 100%. The thrill of the experience lies precisely in experiencing the mystery of the hunt. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Any truffles found belong to the reserve, but at the end of the hunt you will have first refusal to purchase<\/b> them at the day\u2019s market price, allowing you to take home a unique souvenir from Montalcino.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
