- Unbelievable experience with local experts and a super smart and friendly dog! We did this experience as a family of five with kids ages 7, 10, 14. We all absolutely loved it and really enjoyed eating our feast in the woods.
As an official truffle lover, Greece truffles trumped anything we’ve had in Italy! Such a special and memorable experience with a fun and attentive team.
Do not miss this!

Fun - Fabulous - Delicious - What a fun and fabulous experience following the dog through the woods to find Truffles, and then tasting the various mushroom types before watching the feast cooking. The mushroom pasta was absolutely delicious along with the white wine and great company! I would highly recommend this experience!

Super fun(ghi) afternoon!!! - OMG what a unique and fun excursion! Yannis, Alex, Bentra (truffle dog) and Alexandra(chef) were amazing!!
A very easy walk in the woods with the guides as Bentra the truffle dog goes to work to find and dig up truffles. Seems like you’re guaranteed to find as we found several. Then back to the picnic site where Alexandra gets to work with her enormous propane fired fry pan to prepare an amazing mushroom pasta topped with the FRESH truffles. Wine and soda is all included and a mushroom tasting while you await the pasta feast.
