Via dei Cofferi, 12 - Embark on a one-of-a-kind truffle hunting adventure on our estate, a must-try if you’re visiting our region! The day begins at 10:30 AM in spring (a bit earlier in summer to beat the heat) with the “truffle hunter,” a seasoned expert accompanied by his loyal Lagotto Romagnolo, renowned for its exceptional truffle-sniffing abilities. Together, you’ll explore the estate’s woods in search of the prized and aromatic truffle. This 45-minute journey allows you to connect with nature, actively engage in the hunt for “black gold,” and gain insights into this ancient Tuscan tradition that has thrived for centuries.
Upon returning to the farm mid-morning, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how to make fresh pasta (tagliatelle), which will be served for lunch.
Lunch will be enjoyed on the stunning terrace overlooking the vineyards and our olive grove, where you can unwind and savor our homemade meal, complemented by tastings of our wines and extra virgin olive oil.

Exploring the backyard... - Exploring the backyard forest, and eating antipasto and home made pasta with truffle was simply amazing (followed by a delicious desert) - Nothing to fault, great experience, great family and great scenery.

Wonderful Tuscan Farm Experience! - Wonderful excursion to experience a true Tuscan family farm. We did the truffle hunting and pasta making. Gian Marco was a professional truffle hunter and very knowledgeable. He and one of his truffle hunting dogs, Taboo, lead us and it was fun and interesting. Afterwards, we made fresh pasta with our gracious host, Nico. During our stay on their farm where they have a vineyard, olive groves, and also produce saffron, we were treated to home made wines, a charcuterie board featuring local products, and our delicious pasta with the fresh truffles! Ended the meal with a lemon yogurt and home made olive leaf digestivo. I would highly recommend this for couples and families visiting Tuscany! Thank you to Nico for being so welcoming to his family farm and Gian Marco (and Taboo) for the truffle hunting experience!

- my family of 10 ranging in age from 10 to 87 (!) loved this experience. Our hosts were delightful, we loved finding truffles and then making pasta at the farm. This was a highlight of our two week trip to Italy

This was the best experience we had in Italy! - This was the best experience we had in Italy! Everyone was incredibly welcoming and attentive . we would absolutely return and recommend it to all our friends and family.
The truffle hunt was unforgettable, followed by a hands-on fresh pasta-making class that made the whole day feel truly authentic. We started with delicious local meat appetizers, then enjoyed a homemade pasta dish topped with freshly shaved truffles! absolutely divine!
To end the meal, we were served a traditional family dessert, full of flavor and history.
We felt completely at home, surrounded by warmth and kindness, in a setting that looked straight out of a movie. Camilla and her husband are exceptional hosts, and their property is breathtaking. We’re already missing it!

Exactly what we expected and more - Exactly what we expected and more. The hosts, Nico taking us on an adventurous hike through the gorgeous forests in Tuscany with the truffle hunting licenced expert, Luca, with his beautful truffel hunting dog, Tabu. It had rained a few days before, which made smelling the truffel a bit harder than usual, but Tabu found quite a few and in particular one big one that we later had grated over our freshly made pasta. Nico explained the different truffels, seasons and rules of hunting. After the truffle hunting, Nico's lovely father guided us through making fresh tagliatelle from scratch. Meanwhile Nico and the family had prepared us a mouthwatering cheese board that we enjoyed with their home made truffle products and self-produced white and red wines. We ended off with our delicious tagliatelle with pepper sauce and more red wine. It is rare to have such a well organised and knowledgable immersive experience and would recommend it to anyone who would like to experience the raw Tuscan life.

Highly recommend. Wonderful experience. - We agree with everything that has been said by other visitors. We had a very successful truffle hunt with JaMarco and his pointer Aria. JaMarco shared great information about truffle hunting along the way. Fabrizzio and Niccolo were perfect hosts, teaching us how to make pasta, sharing his excellent wine and great food, and telling us about his family and the area. The setting is beautiful. We were 9 people and all of us said this was the highlight of our trip. HIGHLY recommend this experience with this tour.

An unforgettable experience! - Gian Marco, our expert truffle hunter, was an absolute delight. Alongside him was his adorable dog, Tabu, the star of the show! Even though it was the end of the bianchetto season, Tabu found many truffles for us. After a successful hunt, we were treated to a fantastic pasta making session with Camila. The best part? We got to enjoy the fruits of our labor - a delicious lunch featuring homemade focaccia, a charcuterie board, and the pasta we made with freshly shaved truffles. This tour is a must do for anyone visiting the area. The family's hospitality, truffle hunting, and hands-on pasta making experience made it a day to remember. Highly recommend!!

A Magical Day! - This experience was a dream come true, and was amazing from the moment we arrived! It took place at Cofferi 1242, which is a family run farm that produces many products including wine, olive oil, and truffle products. We were introduced to everyone and started on our truffle hunt with the adorable dog Taboo! The weather was perfect and we went on a great walk and found 9 truffles!! Then we came back and started with pasta making. While the dough was eating we had freshly baked focaccia on the patio with a glass of wine with a heavenly view! After we finished pasta making, we had the most delicious lunch featuring charcuterie and samples of their truffle products, the pasta we made topped with freshly shaved truffles from our hunt, and dessert-all homemade! We didn’t want the experience to end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this if you want to experience the MAGIC OF TUSCANY.

Exceeded expectations - The entire experience was amazing! The hosts made us feel at home at their lovely Tuscan manor with breathtaking views. We were never rushed and Fabrizio took his time to accommodate every guest. Gon Marco and Tabu, our truffle hunting dog, were an incredible team, not stopping until we had more than enough truffles for our delicious lunch.
