Authentic, Cozy, and Expertly Run Truffle Experience - Beautiful, authentic place with friendly people running the business. The dogs are well-treated and seem very happy. The information provided about hunting, growing, and using truffles is fascinating. The food is delicious, full of amazing truffle experiences. Five-star quality products are available for purchase after the truffle hunt, and the overall experience is wonderful. Warmly recommended – totally worth the 2500 km journey that we did to experience the place.

Truffle hunting in Bizet, Croatia - It was a very nice event, beautiful valley, husband and wife owners/operators were great, very modern and stylish building for the tastings with a great view of the old walled city. The Italian Waterdog (Best) did great, finding us three black truffles. Nice light meal with a white wine. Would recommend the tour if you want to do something different and off the beaten path while visiting Croatia.

Experience of a lifetime - Last week, we had the most memorable day! We arrived at the Prodan Truffle Farm, after a visit to the surrounded villages. We were greeted by Visnja and her brother Mirko Prodan . We met their hunting dogs and the youngest ,Sky, was chosen to lead us to the truffles. He was very successful. Afterwards, Visnja , who was charming, taught us to make gnocchi . We had a delicious lunch filled with truffle specialties, including dessert.
The setting and views from their farm were gorgeous. I would highly recommend visiting Prodan Tartufi

Wonderful truffle hunting experience! - We have done this experience not once but TWICE because our first go around was absolutely wonderful. The Prodan Family is very passionate about providing people a genuine and authentic truffle hunting experience as well as making you feel as part of the family. The property is rich in vegetation providing for a unique tour into the woods where well trained dogs sniff out hidden truffle. This in itself is spectacular to see! The hunt is followed by an in depth discussion on everything truffle, accompanied by several plates of delicious foods all which contain the delicious taste of local truffle. We greatly recommend this tour as you will feel welcomed by the family and will gain new knowledge on the beautiful world of truffle! We will definitely be back for a third tour!

It was a very great experience. - Very dear , small, hospitable family business. The food was delicious and lovingly prepared. In my opinion, the truffle hunt could have been a little more extensive.
