About this tour
Spend a morning hunting for truffles with an experienced forager and trained dog across Umbrian woodland, then return to a family winery for a four-course lunch featuring your morning's finds paired with organic wines. This three-hour experience combines the thrill of discovery with the pleasure of tasting what you've helped unearth, all set in the rolling countryside near Assisi.
Highlights
- Search for truffles alongside a seasoned hunter and his working dog
- Learn truffle identification and foraging techniques in native woodland
- Taste your foraged truffles in a four-course winery lunch
- Pair dishes with organic wines from the family estate
- Walk through unspoilt Umbrian countryside for 60–90 minutes
What to expect
You'll start at the winery and drive to the truffle reserve (2 km away). The hunt itself involves walking through woodland on uneven terrain, searching for truffles the dog sniffs out—expect a moderately paced hike lasting up to ninety minutes. Once back at the winery, you'll tour the cellars before sitting down to a leisurely lunch where truffles shaved fresh that morning feature across each course, paired with the winery's own wines. This is real work followed by real reward, not theatre.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes—trainers are fine. Arrange your own transport to the winery or book a local taxi. The walk is unsuitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Notify organisers of dietary requirements or inability to manage uneven ground beforehand. Bad weather may prompt rescheduling; they'll contact you to confirm.
