Overview

Do you want to live a special and unique experience? Join our truffle hunt with Irene and her dog, Tep. Our authorized guide will guide you through the paths of the woods of Tuscany, telling you stories and legends related to the territory and the practice of truffle hunting. She will teach you to recognize the trees under which they grow, the ideal habitat for the growth of truffles, and how to cook and store them. The search will take time and patience, but when you will see Tep start wagging his tail and sniffing insistently near a bush or the root of a tree, sticking his nose in the ground deeper and deeper and digging, it will only mean one thing: the treasure has been discovered! And Tep will finally receive a greedy reward for the excellent work done. We can not know how many truffles Tep will be able to find, but one thing is sure: after a fun and tiring walk, you will return to the starting point, at our Villa, where you can also receive your well-deserved reward!

    This was an amazing experience!! The truffle girls were so knowledgeable and gave us such a nice stroll through the woods to find some truffles for our lunch. We not only got 10 truffles but we had a great time doing it! It was so fun to learn about how truffles grow and the proper conditions and watching Tap (the truffle doggie) search. Was truly an experience you’d never have as a native New Yorker! The lunch was also amazing cooked by a private chef and was soooo good! We had such a fun time and can’t wait to come back to Tuscany with our family to do it again! 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience!

    I had an incredible time experiencing a truffle hunt followed by dinner at Sichef. The truffle hunt was engaging and exciting, and the dinner at Sichef was a culinary masterpiece. The flavors were exquisite, and the service was impeccable. The staff's attention to detail and the chef's skill in highlighting the truffle's flavors truly impressed me. This is an unforgettable experience that perfectly combines adventure and gourmet dining. Highly recommended!

    Hunting was good but the dinner was very simple and did not meet any of our expectations Cooking experience was replaced by a very unexperience chef with a mediocre menu

    Trovarsi in mezzo ad un bosco è già un'esperienza rigenerante, se poi il tutto è elettrizzato dalla speranza di trovare un tarrtufo anche il divertimento è assicurato. Irene è bravissima ed inseiem al cane Tep ci ha fatto veramente divertire. Squisito poi il pranzo in una location semplicemente fantastica a base dei tarrtufi che abbiamo avuto la fortuna di trovare. La prossima volta che torneremo in Toscana proveremo di nuovo l'esperienza!
