Private transportation

Guests must arrive at the location with their own transport. However, if needed, we can arrange transportation for an additional cost. Please let us know if you require this service in advance.

We welcome you with three homemade rakijas and elderflower water before a short break and toilet stop. Then, guests follow us in their cars for a 5-minute scenic drive to our truffle grove and forest with a stunning view of Motovun. You'll join our expert truffle hunters and two trained dogs, Bella and Lila, for a 1-hour truffle hunt through the grove and forest, learning how truffles grow and how the dogs find them. After the hunt, we return to our home and gather in the summer kitchen for a three-course truffle tasting. First, enjoy a selection of truffle spreads, cheeses, salami, and local olive oils. Then we prepare scrambled eggs with your fresh truffles right in front of you. Finally, we serve our homemade truffle chocolate cake. Throughout the experience, we share stories about truffles, our region, and our family. Our team speaks six languages, and we include a food anthropologist to enrich the experience.

Fabulous truffle hunting

We had a fabulous experience. Loved our host, Layla & Jackie. We learned much about truffles. The information & luncheon that followed was exceptional.

Fun and Very Delicious!

We had such a great time with Miro and his two dogs, as we walked through the beautiful forest around Motovun, Croatia. The dogs sniffed out several black truffles today, and then we ate them as a delicious brunch was prepared for us! Highly recommend this adventure if you’re anywhere near Motovun area!

This is a must do lunch. The guide is very knowledgeable and the food was delicious. The truffle was very tasty and something I will cook with more often.

Worth it!

This was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and educational, making the experience both fun and interesting. The food was more than exceptional—it was honestly such a pleasant surprise! Everything was delicious, and the truffle experience exceeded our expectations. You could really tell how much care went into the food and the overall experience. And of course, the truffle-hunting dogs were an experience all on their own! ...read more
