- Alfredo Tours - After picking you up at the meeting point with a comfortable, air-conditioned 8-seats mini-van (or car), we will take you to one of the most renowned truffle hunting regions. During the drive to reach the region you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the ride while we introduce you to the area.
With a roughly 15 minute comfortable ride, we will start off the day with a visit to a truffle hunting family, whose 3rd generation is now hunting for truffles. Friendly hosts will tell you all about truffles, the tradition of truffle hunting, and their truffle hunting dogs. But above all, they will take you to the BEST truffle hunting spot that just a few locals know about. Tasting of truffle products will be prepared for you in beautiful surroundings, and you will also have the opportunity to buy truffle products in the nearby shop.
We’ll return home with full bellies, a happy heart and great memories, just in time. After a wonderful day of truffle hunting.
