Join a third-generation truffle hunter and his trained Lagotto dogs in the ancient oak forests of Umbria. Unearth black and white truffles, then sit down to a lavish farmhouse lunch built entirely around your harvest.
What to expect
Your hunter meets you at a forest clearing where the dogs are already at work, noses to the earth. You follow them through dappled oak woodland, watching as they freeze, dig, and deliver their fragrant prizes. Back at the farmhouse, the hunter's family prepares an unhurried feast: truffle bruschetta, hand-rolled pasta with fresh truffle shavings, aged pecorino, and local Sagrantino wine. You leave with a small jar of truffle preserve and a memory that outlasts any souvenir.
Good to know
Best for ports with full-day calls (Civitavecchia/Rome or Livorno). The farmhouse is approximately 2 hours from Civitavecchia — private transfer can be arranged directly. Pre-booking is essential; availability is limited to small private groups. Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting muddy.
