Description

Good to Know

A premium small-group countryside experience rooted in George’s family black truffle tradition, with Budapest pickup and drop-off included. Head into the forest with a local truffle hunter and trained dogs to search for real black truffles and see how they’re carefully found and harvested. Afterwards, return to a 17th-century watermill for a gourmet foie gras & black truffle tasting with bubbles, then continue to two authentic Etyek wineries for local wines and a traditional Hungarian lunch. • Welcome sparkling-wine at a 17th-century watermill • Authentic truffle hunt with a local hunter & trained dogs • Gourmet tasting you won’t find elsewhere: Foie gras “nature,” foie gras with black truffle & Tokaji Aszú, and truffle butter with fresh truffle, paired with bubbles. • Etyek: winemaker-guided tasting (4–5 wines) + cellar peek • Traditional Hungarian lunch at one of Etyek’s oldest wineries paired with more wine (3-4 wines) • Budapest pickup & drop-off included. • Complimentary souvenir

Truffle hunting with George.

Highly recommended excursion to the countryside of Budapest for truffle hunting, wine tasting and lunch. It definitely is a highlight and not to be missed.

Exceptional experience in Budapest!

We had a great day during this truffle hunt organized during our company seminar. The discovery of Budapest’s wineries is exciting and the truffle hunting demonstration is simply great and original. A big bravo to George and his father Joseph, two top guides, passionate, who taught us a lot about Hungary. Great atmosphere, perfect organization and memorable memories for the whole team. 👉 Must do if you are in Budapest!
