 The search with truffle dogs
 Its majesty the White Truffle
Truffle Hunting
In search of the king of the table
Come to participate in a truffle hunting accompanied by local experts and their truffle dogs among the Crete Senesi and the Val d’Orcia. In every period of the year we’ll search for a different kind of truffle according to the season:
- White Truffle --> September - December
- Spring "Marzuolo" Truffle --> February - April
- Summer "Scorzone" Truffle --> June - August
At the end of the “cerca”, the search of truffle, you will join the tasting session and then a tasting meal at the farm, where all dishes will be prepared with fresh truffles.
