What to expect
Expect a full day of forest walking at moderate to challenging pace. You'll start with a drive into Monti Picentini, then spend hours on foot following the truffle hunter and his dogs through woodland terrain. The work is unhurried—plenty of breaks let you absorb the quiet surroundings and taste truffles as they're dug up, paired with local cheese. Afternoon brings you to a restaurant where a proper sit-down lunch featuring truffle-based courses, wine, coffee and digestif winds down the experience. The forest sections are uneven; good footwear and reasonable fitness are essential.
