Description

Truffle hunting carried out within our property, which is located in the heart of Chianti Classico very close to Greve in Chianti and 20 minutes from Florence, is a unique experience that you absolutely must try if you are in our area! The day begins in the morning at 10.30 in spring (a little earlier in summer to avoid excessive heat) together with the 'truffle hunter', a professional who, together with his inseparable Lagotto Romagnolo with his exceptional nose for truffles, will lead you into the woods of the property in search of the precious and fragrant truffle. You will be in direct contact with nature for about an hour, actively participating in the search for 'black gold' and learning many things about this ancient activity that has taken place in Tuscany for hundreds of years.

Then mid-morning, returning to the farm, you will learn how to make fresh pasta (tagliatelle) which will be served to you for lunch.

Lunch will be served on the splendid terrace overlooking the vineyards and our olive grove: you can relax and enjoy our homemade lunch based on truffles that you found in the forest.
