What to expect

Start early with the truffle hunter, learning to spot signs in the soil as his dogs work the woodland floor—you'll actually dig and find truffles yourself. By mid-morning, head to lunch where a cook prepares your truffles into pasta, risotto, or other dishes. Between courses, ride out on horseback along country trails, taking in rolling fields and oak forests. The pace is deliberately mixed: active hunting and riding bookended by long, leisurely eating and drinking.
