Here’s an overview of your tour

Leave the hustle and bustle behind and join me for a truffle hunt in stunning landscapes. Take a short drive outside of Rome and find yourself in the beautiful Italian countryside. Stroll through the woods and hunt for truffles and then enjoy a delicious Italian meal at a local restaurant. Delizioso!

Meet me at the Cesano train station where I will pick you up with a car. Enjoy a 45-minute drive and get ready to start our truffle-hunting adventure. We will walk in different types of woods depending on the period. The nature around here is beautiful. We’ll explore unblemished places and beautiful landscapes together.

As we walk I will tell you all about the world of truffles. Of course, my friendly and specially trained dogs will be there to help us.

After the truffle hunt, guests will be served traditional Italian food cooked at home with locally produced ingredients. The meal includes a starter with an arrangement of cheeses, meats and small dishes to share, a main course cooked with truffles and a dessert to end with. During the meal also wine, local liquor and coffee will be served. The lunch is truly superb, I am sure that you will enjoy it.

I am of course happy to personalize this tour to your wishes. Just let me know if you have any special requests.
