This is one of the best experience we have done in Croatia! The dogs Jackie and Ella are so fun and cute. Miro took us on a hunt and we found a lot of truffles. He is a great guide and the history of his family is interesting. They are family owned.. Its a must to do the cooking class too! The best Truffle eggs and gnocchi I hae ever had. We got to eat our truffles that we found. It was not touristy mid June. Worth going to Motovun for this experience!
Went on a truffle hunt with our guide Petra! The dogs found 5 truffles and we were able to dig some up! After we went back to their house and had an amazing meal!! Highly recommend this tour!!
Amazing truffle hunting experience, we learned a great deal about truffles & truffle hunting, from the process of raising the hunting dogs down to how the market rates of truffles fluctuate. Miro, Petra and their team were very friendly, warm, and welcoming. The food was incredible, especially the cake that was served for dessert. Their products were of great taste and quality, and they were all extremely good value for money.
The best experience to truly taste Croatia. Very nice people with real passion about their product. Its nice to have a bite from nature, weve found nice truffels and ate them later. Great lunch! Davide
Great hospitality. Learned so much. Found a HUGE truffle too!
Amazing, highly entertaining host, and incredible meal. They truly take the time to get to know their guests. We learned more about truffles than we thought we would! Could not recommend this more.
Eye opening and informative truffle hunt and great truffle feast by the warm family. Highly recommend anyone looking for an amazing experience!
I didn’t do the truffle hunting but went for the truffle tasting and it didn’t disappoint. I should be honest and say I’m not a big truffle fan but the food was delicious. I couldn’t believe the cake at the end. The interplay between the family added and interesting and humorous element to the experience. They were extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot about truffle hunting just going for the food experience. They were able to answer any and all questions, however random and obscure they seemed and it was all done with grace, patience and politeness. So even for a non truffle fan, this was a worthwhile experience where I learned a lot and enjoyed the food more than I had expected.
Fabulous adventure! Great family, cooking advice and terrific food.
This is MUST in Isteria if you love food. They walk you through from truffle hunt to table and have a rich history in the area.
