Truffle Hunting and Lunch Wine Tasting Experience at Cortecorbo

About this tour

Hunt black truffles across Italian woodland with Giulio and trained dogs, then sit down to a four-course lunch where every dish showcases your morning's finds. The Cortecorbo winery pairs each course with wines from their cellar, with the winemaker walking you through flavour matches and production methods. Eight hours total, including private transport from Sorrento, Amalfi or Naples. A hands-on introduction to how truffles grow, what soil and weather they need, and the skill it takes to sniff them out.

What to expect

Start your morning in the field with Giulio, who'll explain what you're looking for—black truffles hiding under leaf litter and tree roots—and why his dogs work better than humans ever could. You'll walk through the hunting grounds, watch the dogs work, and likely find something to take back. After a few hours, head to the winery kitchen where a chef has built a menu around truffles: opening with an appetiser, moving through two pasta courses and a meat dish, each one highlighting the truffle differently. Sit at a proper table, eat proper food, and taste six wines the winemaker has chosen to sit alongside each course. He'll explain what you're tasting and why it works.
