Truffle Hunting and Cooking Class Tuscany
Tuscan team can organize your exclusive truffle hunting and cooking class tuscany. It is a suitable for couples, families, and small groups. We begin your truffle experience with an early morning meeting near a natural truffle ground. Thanks to an expert truffle hunter we begin this experience with a short talk introducing the hunting session, the biological cycle of the truffled. Then the right environments, the truffle season and we present the dogs. Our dogs are the real hunters and guest tars of each truffle hunting experience.
The truffle season in Tuscany, typically runs from late autumn to early winter. The most prized variety is the white truffle, found from October to December, especially in areas like San Miniato, Casole d’Elsa, Val d’Elsa and in some areas of the South of Siena Province. Black truffles season, which are more abundant, grow from late winter to spring. Truffle hunting in Tuscany is a tradition in the region, with skilled dogs sniffing out these underground treasures.
An all inclusive Tuscany Truffle Hunting Experience
The Truffle Experience lasts about an hour and a half and is suitable even for large groups. It is not a demonstration but a real hunting session together with our hunter and his dogs. We highly recommend to wear casual with long trousers and sport or hiking shoes. This Tuscany Truffle Hunting is a real walk through the woods following and running behind a hunter dog and his nose. Sometimes you should be ready to run after the dog and catch the truffle before it eats it. Surely the truffle experience in the woods runs fast as the dog and his parent dog hunter.
After the Tuscany truffle hunt in the wood, we can move to the kitchen and begin the feast ! The truffle season draws food enthusiasts and cooks who use the delicate truffles to elevate Tuscan dishes, offering a unique gastronomic experience that celebrates the flavors of the region. Right after the truffle hunting session you will partecipate into a cooking class and cook a real truffle-based lunch !

We like keeping this special Tuscany Truffle Hunting experience as a little event. For this reason, it is not open to dozens of guests. Upon request it can be privatized, and you can spend a couple of hours with dog and truffle hunter. The experience is genuine, surrounded by natural woods, the staff is local and friendly, the dog is raised locally by the truffle hunter. Even in this case we can craft this special experience according to your likes and add a final truffle-based cooking class or truffle-based lunch tasting cheeses, cold cuts, and egg pasta with truffle sauce.
This is an experience we guarantee to all those travellers booking a Private Villa with Tuscan Team or planning and travelling under our supervision !
