What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the farm before heading into nearby woodland. The dog does the hard work—your role is to watch it locate truffles, then help carefully dig them out. The walk covers uneven terrain at a steady pace; expect tree roots, slopes and muddy patches depending on recent weather. Once back at the farm, you'll taste the truffles raw and shaved, paired with quality oil and perhaps cheese or cured meat. The tasting is leisurely, giving you time to chat with the farmer about their work.
Good to know
Wear proper walking boots and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. The experience demands moderate fitness—hills and uneven ground are unavoidable. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or cardiovascular concerns. Transport to the farm is your responsibility.
