Description
Good to Know
Go behind the scenes of the world's most secretive business. Take a tour of a Provencal truffle plantation, learn how truffles are grown and truffle dogs are trained, and go on a hunt for France's elusive "black gold" with professional hunters who know the tricks of the trade.
You will be regaled with stories of successes and sabotage, and learn to tell the difference between a real Provençal tuber melanosporum and its inferior Chinese counterparts. You'll also learn how to properly clean, store and cook with truffles.

The tour begins with a walk to a cool and shady area of the property, where your English-speaking Guide will provide background on the farm, how truffles are grown, and how to hunt them. Then you'll be joined by the French hunter and his three dogs, who will dig up truffles with your help. After the hunt, we'll return to our scenic summer kitchen to taste three different hors d'oeuvres with truffles, followed by truffle ice cream with truffle honey, and finally a tasting of our organic extra-virgin olive oil, truffle oil and truffle salt, served with all you care to drink Champagne. During the tasting you will learn about what to look for when dining on truffles in restaurants and buying truffle products, plus how to clean, store, and prepare fresh truffles yourself.

A Provence Treat
The truffle hunting adventure was a highlight of my 2-week Provence trip. Johan was communicative in the lead-up to the excursion and entertaining in leading the 3-hour event. I learned a lot about the lengthy time it takes for truffles to grow! A labor of love where patience is definitely required. Loved the interaction we were allowed with the truffle hunters (3 adorable pups) and being able to help secure the truffle when found by the hunter. Nice sized group (12) . Afterwards enjoyed a varie...read more

Unforgettable Truffle Hunting Experience
Our truffle hunting experience with Johann and his three dogs was easily one of the highlights of our trip. It was informative, educational, unique, and most importantly, so much fun. Johann was an incredible host with a wealth of knowledge and a real talent for engaging his guests. He seamlessly took us through everything from the science behind truffles, to the business and economics of truffles, to the actual hunting process with his dogs, and of course, the best part: tasting and enjoying t...read more
