Great authentic experience

This was a fantastic experience! Exactly what had hoped for. It was authentic, physically active, but not overly strenuous, the guide was charming, the dogs playful and relentless in looking for the truffles. We found several and enjoyed them with delicious pasta for lunch on a gorgeous terrace overlooking the valley.

Rundum ein einmaliges Erlebnis wir kommen gerne wieder

Zuerst hatten wir eine Besichtigung mit Nicola dem Chef durch das Anwesen, hierbei wurde vieles über die Herstellung von Amarone-Weine erklärt, wirklich sehr verständlich und kurzweilig. Wir hatten die englische Variante der Führung. Im Anschluss begann eine tolle Wanderung mit Ilaria der Frau von Nicola durch die Weinberge und den Wald mit den Hunden, sie waren ständig mit Ihren Nasen am Schnüffeln und buddelten kräftig an verschiedenen Stellen nach Trüffel.Es war total lustig...am Ende der T...read more

Lovely experience, at a beautiful and charming location. The hosts was generous, kind and passionate about their work, and the wine, snacks and pasta with own picked truffles of the day was delicious. We truly recommend this tour.

Favorite of our Italy trip

This is one of my favorite things we did in Italy. The truffle hunting tour was amazing. Our 11 year old daughters loved it! We hiked and found truffles with their dogs and then returned to the vineyard and had a tour of the winery. We had an amazing lunch and tasted their wines. It was so much fun!

Kann ich / können wir nur empfehlen. Mit viel Liebe und Empathie hat Ilaria uns auf die Trüffeljagd mitgenommen. Cool, toll - relativ teuer, aber hat sich absolut gelohnt. Schade, dass man beim Abschied nicht einen kleinen Trüffel als "Abschiedsgeschenk" erhält.
