A great half day with hunting, wine tasting and eating! - The drive to the small town is worth it to do these two separate activities. The truffle hunting is in the forest- you need a car to drive there. It is also not included in the price so you need 30-40 Euros pp cash to pay at the end and more if you want to buy the truffle you find. It was really interesting. Then you drive back to the wine shop for wine tasting. We took the light lunch option which was definitely worth it as we were starving by then and it was not huge but delicious and definitely enough food. Had a great 3.5 hours , even in the drizzle!

Truffle hunting and wine tasting - The truffle hunt with the dogs was very interesting. So is the wine tasting. Cheese and salami was served representatively on a wooden board. A highly recommended experience.

Outstanding - All were excellent. Translator, truffle hunter, wine tasting! Outstanding from start to finish. Very good but not too long-winded explanations from all.Lady who did wine tasting (owner of the shop) was particularly good.

Truffle hunting, an unforgettable experience - Highly recommended! Very nice to experience! We had reserved the booking with light lunch. You got all kinds of small bites from the region including a wine tasting. Much was told by the enthusiastic owner who spoke excellent English.

beautiful discovery - There is an excellent explanation of the region and its wines. Mr. Tartufio explains everything we want to know about his dogs and truffles.

Very bad experience! - A very mediocre display! A truffle seeker who points out where the truffle is and a light lunch that was dramatic. I would advise anyone not to book this "experience". Far too expensive for what's on offer. We really felt cheated, and we weren't the only ones who felt that way. Disgraceful!
