This isn’t a staged activity—it’s a genuine, family-run truffle hunt led by locals who have been practicing this tradition for generations. You’re not watching… you’re part of it.
The experience goes beyond the hunt. You follow trained dogs through untouched countryside, taste truffles moments after they’re found, and sit down to a farm-to-table meal where the ingredients come directly from the land around you.
The setting is just as special—rolling hills, quiet forests, and spontaneous encounters with local life that you simply can’t replicate.
Most importantly, it feels personal. Small groups, real connections, and an atmosphere that’s relaxed, welcoming, and completely unfiltered.
Meet expert hunters and their incredible truffle dogs, then head into the rolling hills for a relaxed, scenic walk as you learn how these prized delicacies are found beneath the earth. This isn’t staged—it’s real truffle hunting, guided by people who’ve been doing this their entire lives. When the dogs strike gold, celebrate with a tasting of freshly unearthed truffles paired with local sparkling wine, surrounded by stunning countryside views. Back at the farmhouse, things get even better. Start with a spread of homemade specialties—cured meats, local cheeses, and generous pours of regional wine—before sitting down to a traditional Umbrian meal. Think truffle eggs, bruschetta, seasonal farm dishes, and freshly harvested truffles shaved over everything. Want to go all in? Upgrade your experience with a hands-on pasta-making class and learn how to craft fresh umbrian pasta from scratch.
At the meeting point you will find a team member holding a sign with "WhenInUmbria" written on it.
