Near Siena : Truffle Hunting in the Tuscan Woods

Join a guided truffle hunt in a private reserve in the Tuscan countryside in the famous truffle region of the Crete Senesi. Learn about truffles, the dogs, and the local area from your guide.

Meet your truffle hunter and the wonderful truffle dogs just outside the farmhouse. Set off on foot into the woods above the farm, accompanied by an English-speaking interpreter who will provide insights into truffles, the dogs, the woods, and the local area. Feel the thrill of digging fresh truffles from the ground with your own hands. Learn about the best ways to store and use truffles in the kitchen. The hunt usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the weather and the luck of the hunt. To allow the dogs to work at their best, go truffle hunting in the early morning, around 8:30 AM, or in the late afternoon, a couple of hours before sunset.
