Truffle Lunch & Hunting Experience in San Gimignano

One hour for truffle hunting. It was very informative and very easy. We were in the brush so recommend wearing long pants.

Fun, interactive, great tour guide. Lots of great information and history. Loved the dogs! Great time looking for truffles!

Luke was very knowledgeable about truffles , and very friendly. Made us laugh about his white truffle experience just to take a picture of his treasure while his dog was taking a bite of it.

One of the best tours we did. Our truffle hunter Luca was incredible his dog Lilly was amazing. They were a great pair, every time she dug she found a truffle we got a handful of black truffles. Loved walking in the fields & seeing the oak trees. Lunch & wine pairing were also very good

Incredible experience. A good combination of truffle hunting with a tasting in the sequence. The tour is worth hunting in itself. Excellent guide and very friendly puppy! Tasting with lots of truffles. All note 10

This was hands down my favorite experience in all of Italy. Our truffle hunter guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and we loved our truffle hunter Lily. She was the best girl. The atmosphere of the winery and vineyard was so picturesque and exactly what you wanted to find in Tuscany. Hands down would do it again in a heart beat. The lunch and wine was also the best we’ve had in Italy. I highly highly recommend it!

The truffle hunt was really amazing and the lunch delicious. The place is really beautiful and the city a grace!

Luca was the perfect host. He allowed for hands-on with the dogs, with the truffles and being able to hike through the woods of Tuscany. I love to cook but, given the shortage of truffles in the United States, I can't say I ever really understood the flavors or anything about them other than what I had seen on TV, so I wanted to get up close and personal with them. This tour was the perfect tour for me, and my wife, who just tagged along, had a great time as well. We ended with lunch at the restaurant with wine tasting, local fare and plenty of dishes served with truffles so I really got a good taste. It was a really great opportunity to see how it all works up close as well as taste lots and lots of truffles to the point that I understand them now and can picture the flavor whenever I see them on some of my favorite cooking programs. I can say that the mystery has been removed for me.

The truffle hunt was a great experience. We got to meet two hunting dogs, and learn from an expert hunter. We explored some of the nearby woods, even taking turns leading one of the dogs to find a dig spot. They were finding lots of truffles and it was such a cool experience! I was a little disappointed because I thought I booked the cooking experience as well but it just included lunch and a wine tasting at the vineyard. The vineyard was gorgeous. The lunch was nice, however we were seated as group with another couple that booked the same experience but that we didn't know. They were nice to talk to but as it was our honeymoon I would've liked to enjoy our meal separately. They also served the meal family style which was a little odd. I wouldn't have minded so much to share a table if we were each served our own plated meal at least. The wine and appetizers were very very good, the pasta and dessert were ok. In total we spent about 3 hours between the hunt and lunch experience.

Luca and his two amazing dogs Lilly and Luna made for a memorable morning in the woods. We found many truffles during the hunt and his knowledge and passion was amazing. If you are looking for the best truffle hunter look no further!
