Activity itinerary

San Donato in Poggio

  • 3h
Private Truffle Hunting Experience Your licensed driver-guide and trekking guide will pick you up from your hotel or apartment in Florence and take you through the scenic Tuscan countryside—past vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills—to meet your professional truffle hunter. Before entering the woods, you’ll receive a brief introduction to the basic rules of truffle hunting and learn how truffle dogs are trained and how they work in the field. Then the hunt begins. Walk through the forest and actively take part in the search alongside the hunter and the dog, discovering techniques and insights from this ancient Tuscan tradition.

Tavarnelle Val di Pesa

  • 1h 30m
Lunch & Wine Tasting in a Charming Cellar After the hunt, we’ll head to a welcoming Tuscan cellar or winery for a relaxed lunch. You’ll enjoy a first course featuring fresh truffle pasta, paired with a selection of local Tuscan products. During lunch, take part in a guided tasting of three Tuscan wines, with a simple introduction to their main characteristics and styles. Wines may include Chianti, Vernaccia, and a Super Tuscan, depending on season and availability. At the end of the experience, your driver will take you back to Florence.
