Highlights
  • Localita’ Sozzi, 6 - Enjoy a 3-hour adventure in the Parma hills of Valmozzola and become a “truffle hunter” for a day with Flavia and her two truffle dogs.

After exploring the truffle farm and nearby woods, you’ll be treated to an exceptional truffle tasting. Intrigued? :)
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our diligent truffle dogs, who are not just workers but also part of our family!

The truffle forest trail spans about 2 km and can extend into the surrounding woods for a more comprehensive experience. Nestled in the lush vegetation of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (we’re 60km from Parma and 60km from La Spezia/Cinque Terre), we’ll follow the dogs until they lead us to the truffles, which we’ll dig up ourselves.

Depending on the season, we might find black summer truffles or fall truffles. The truffle hunt can last between an hour and an hour and a half (depending on our success!) and will conclude with a tasting of the truffles we’ve found and our homemade truffle products crafted by mother Laura.

It will be a once-in-a-lifetime and unforgettable experience, I promise! :)

A successful gift! - A small corner of paradise, made of peace and tranquility, but also lots of fun. The experience was interesting, engaging and the time flew by, while having fun we learned a little about the world of truffles. However, what really made the difference was the hospitality and friendliness of Flavia and Laura. We spent a wonderful evening with them and with the sweet little lagottes Maya and Tinkerbell, Ludo and the little infiltrator Steve the hedgehog. What struck us is the love with which the dogs are treated, just as if they were part of the family and not just as "workers". We recommend the experience, we will definitely be back! We thank Flavia and her mother Laura again, we can't wait to come back and say hello to you! In the meantime, we will remember this beautiful day by eating the delicious products we purchased!

Don’t miss this wonderful and unique experience! - It’s the highlight of our Italy trip! Highly recommend! The dogs are so cute and the hunting was enjoyable with walk in the private woodland. The host, Flavia and Laura are responsive and accommodating. We found a few pieces of truffles and Laura has prepared very delicious truffle food for us as well as other local delicacies such as Parma ham, cheese etc and wine. Moreover, Flavia will share with you information about different truffles and they also sell truffle products in the farm with good price. All in all, love it.
