Truffle hunting - We went truffle hunting for black truffles on a beautiful, crisp sunny day in February. Our guides (we had two, one Paolo who spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable about truffles and the history of Italy generally) and the other a dog trainer and professional truffle hunter with decades of experience. We found about 8-9 truffles, it was an authentic experience and the kids absolutely loved it. We also bought the truffles we found at the end and were given clear instructions on how to package and keep them fresh, so we could enjoy cooking with them on our return. Highly recommend the experience and we'd very much do it again, maybe in white truffle season to see the difference.

Super fun activity with the family - The truffle hunting experience was such fun, with the truffle hunter dog Archilles being extremely enthusiastic and successful in sniffling out truffles under the watchful eye of his owner Gianni. Carmen, who is the business owner, was very friendly and knowledgable. Paolo who handled the booking was always efficient in responding to our queries and was waiting to pick us from the local train station. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this activity!

A magical experience. - My Mugello truffle hunting experience was nothing short of magical from start to finish. Coming from Florence, Paolo arranged to collect and drop me off the local train station. On the drive, Paolo shared his knowledge of the history of the Mugello valley and pointed out the Cafaggiolo castle and one of the prominent Medici family’s holiday homes. Before setting off on our truffle hunt, we got to know our group over coffee. We were a group of five and got along brilliantly. As a solo traveller, it was lovely to share the day with them. Our truffle hunter, Gianni and his dog, Achilles, led us on an exciting hunt, where seven black truffles were unearthed. It was remarkable to watch Gianni and Achilles in action. We got to touch, hold and smell the freshly harvested truffles and even dig some out ourselves. They were taken back, weighed and prepared for our lunch – post pasta-making. Paola’s lovely daughter, Carmen, welcomed us back to the property with some truffle tapenades. Chef Gabriel demonstrated how to make three types of fresh pasta, which we then made ourselves. He was a patient and encouraging teacher, taking time to answer our questions and ensure we got great results. He then prepared our pasta for lunch along with some incredible meat and vegetable dishes. The produce was so fresh and absolutely delicious. He hand shaved the truffles we had collected onto the pasta dishes and wow, it was sensational! Paolo also sent personalised messages to each of us, including recipes from the day, a history of Mugello and plenty of photos from the truffle hunt. If you’re debating whether to book this experience, don’t hesitate. The Mugello team are highly professional, passionate and personable. They went above and beyond to ensure my experience was unforgettable and the highlight of my five weeks in Italy. Thank you so much Paolo and team!

Truffle hunting in Tuscany - We had the Truffle Hunt tour at Agriturismo Corzano near Barberino di Mugello and visited two Unesco world heritage sites once owned by the Medici family. Truffle tour was exciting because we saw various types of plants and mushroom varieties along the way. Afterwards, our guide Paolo took us on a scenic route to see these historical buildings which are currently serving as residences for two different families. Namely, Trabbio Castle was built early in the 15th century, and Cafaggiolo Castle was built in the mid-15th century.

Truffle hunt and cooking class - Fantastic experience ! Following the dog to find hidden truffles is an adventure worth doing ! And making the pasta incorporating the truffles after was a gastronomic delight. Paolo was extremely helpful coordinating our arrival and departure . Couldn’t ask for a better authentic experience !

Wonderful experience - The experience was excellent, from arrival, preparation for the truffle hunt, they give you ponchos and boots, Paolo is very attentive all the way. Then Carmen and Gabrielle are excellent hosts, the preparation of the pasta from the beginning and then the 5 dishes with truffle are a delight. I recommend this experience as an adventure for the day, since you want to take it easy and enjoy every detail.

Great full day experience - Paolo was very responsive, gave all the details in advance and accommodated our needs. The truffle hunting experience is excellent but then the pasta making with Gabrielle and the serving of Carmen where a perfect blend for an entire great experience. Dont have breakfast, Carmen will give you coffee and cookies and dont plan dinner because Gabrielle will make you eat a 5 course menu with truffles! Great adventure! P.S: they also provide boots and rain coat
