Truffel hunting

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing experience, we all had a change to follow the dogs and dig for truffles. Overall great experience and definitely will recommend it.

Unforgettable Truffle Hunting with delicious lunch

Published on Nov, 2024

Our Truffle hunting was the best experience!! Luca our truffle hubter was the best and with his super awesome dogs Liky abd Luce! Luca is very knowledgeable and able to explain everything about truffle!! We truly learned alot from him. We also enjoyed lunch and wine tasting! Everything was delicious with truffles!!

Thrilling outdoor excursion

Published on Oct, 2024

Our guides were absolutely lovely & we had a group of 7 on our tour. They were extremely knowledgeable and the dogs were of course outstanding. We split into 2 groups and each group had a guide and 2 dogs. It was amazing to watch these well trained dogs find the locations where the truffles were growing. If you love animals & nature, this is an activity for you! A little advice..don't wear fancy shoes like one of the ladies in the group. We didn't get muddy, but you are in the woods.

Truffles and wine, a wonderful time!

Published on Oct, 2024

We loved our truffle hunt with Luca and his dogs! We learned so much, and despite the rain, we had a wonderful adventure! Back at Podere la Maronnaia, we enjoyed all things truffle, and some delicious wines (we ordered some too be shipped home!) The staff was friendly and hospitable! Highly recommend!

Truly unique and worth the splurge!

Published on Sep, 2024

Luca ( our truffle hunter guide) was just fantastic. His vast knowledge of the dogs, hunting truffles and the truffles themselves kept us engaged the entire trip, we could have done it ALL day! Our dogs, Lilly and Lexie, were just adorable and friendly, we wanted to bring them home with us! Lunch and wine after on the vineyard patio made for an extra special lunch complete with lots of truffles and delicious wine! It was a truly unique experience and worth the splurge!
