Caza de setas o trufas

Amazing to harvest truffles and mushrooms on the property of the restaurant. Golden retrievers to sniff out the location of truffles, then Roberto (chef Luigi did not join us in person) dug the truffle up. The dogs found several; enough for our cooking class. Steep walk on slippery leaves, not for the faint at heart but totally worth it. We were in a group of 8 although we expected to be just the two of us, as the tour was labeled private. Departure point NOT at the car ferry as mentioned on website, but from the next ferry over on the square. The cooking class was a lot of fun and the 4 course luncheon was great, with ample red wine. Chef Luigi is very talented and was making jokes while explaining what we had to do in his kitchen. The servers were well trained and very polite. Totally worth it; my comments are just to help you set expectations.

Luigi and his family were beyond kind and this was an authentic and unforgettable activity. I would suggest this to anyone and it is well worth the price.

What a fun and unique experience! There was a little confusion at pick-up, so it’s worth calling to confirm your reservation and pick up time/place. We were then driven to a private home up on the hill above Bellagio and went for a walk with truffle hunting dogs Sherlock and Charlotte. After filling our basket with truffles, we were brought to Salice Blu and were treated to a delicious and fun lunch, highlighting the truffles we had picked. One of our favorite days from our two week trip to Italy!

This experience was seriously fun. Luigi cooked us an incredible lunch and then we went wandering through the woods in search of truffles. AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! The truffle dog we went hunting with was so adorable and my partner and I had such a good time looking for truffles and chatting with Luigi and his family. We saw beautiful views from the forest while hunting and overall just had a blast. Prepare to be a bit flexible on timing based on weather, so don't book anything else the day of your truffle hunting because you may end up over scheduled. This activity is well worth having a full day free to partake in. We definitely recommend it to all.

It's definitely worth it :) I had never seen anything like this before. We were with our 3 little children and it was all very easy and soooo fun for the kids! Great experience, we would do it again!
