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.

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.

Don't hesitate to book! - This experience exceeded my expectations! I was thinking we'd just go into the forest to look for truffles and then make pasta. But they fed us a ton, chatted with us a bit and made us feel at home. Every staff member was so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Truffle Hunt, Pasta Class and World-class Hospitality - We spent a memorable day at Cofferi1242! Despite the rainy weather, our spirits weren't dampened. After Fabrizio provided us with rainboots, THE CUTEST dog, Joy, followed by her owner, Lucca, took us on a delightful hunt to look for truffles. Our group entered the woods as strangers but came out as friends.
Next, Fabrizio taught us how to make pasta, mixing, rolling, folding, and cutting. Between the stages of pasta preparation, Fabrizio and his son showered us with Italian hospitality. Fabrizio's son prepared bruschetta, and Fabrizio served us delicious homemade wine surrounded by a spectacular view. Later, they brought a massive platter of local charcuterie products and more wine to our group, followed by our own pasta topped with the foraged truffles that Joy had found. YUM! To top the experience off, they served us a fruity dessert, bruschetta, which Camilla had made.
This adventure was unique, authentic, and fun. Not only did we get our "puppy fix" so far from home, but we also found an appreciation for the love and tradition this wonderful family brought to our "beyond words" experience!

Highlight of our trip! - We had the most amazing experience - a real highlight of our honeymoon! The hunt itself was very informative and we learnt so much about truffles and hunting dogs. The cooking class we did after was an equally enjoyable experience, and all of the food was delicious - make sure you're hungry when you go! Give yourself a good 4-5 hours for this experience to soak it all in and enjoy the beautiful property.

The best day ever!!! - We are a family of 7 and we have all said Cofferi 1242 truffle hunting and cooking was one of the most special experiences we have ever done as a family. The setting is exquisite, Fabrizio and his family make the whole day so special. The food is delicious too. It is a must if you visit the Florence area of Tuscany!!

An absolute must do! - We had the best time. Such a different experience going truffle hunting with the gorgeous puppy Joy. Fabrizio, Camilla and Niccolo were so accommodating to us as we are vegetarian, the food was incredible and so delicious and the pasta making was very fun. We got to eat with the most incredible view of the Tuscan hills. Unbelievable value for money!
