Caça de trufas em Chianti, aula de preparação de massas e almoço

So much fun! Gian Carlo and tabo were very knowledgeable and appreciated their environmentalist approach to truffle hunting. Then the pasta making class with Niccolo was so much fun! Definitely want to buy my own pasta maker now. My parents were worried the truffle hunting might be too outdoorsy for them, but it wasn't nearly as intense as they had thought, plus we found a good amount!

Simply unmissable. This is genuinely one of the top five experiences I’ve had in Italy in over 30 years of visiting. It’s a true family-run farm offering an authentic truffle hunt and hands‑on cooking experience — nothing staged, nothing commercial, just real hospitality. You’re welcomed straight into the family’s cottage, where the outdoor verandah and cooking area overlook a beautiful valley. The setting is simple, rustic, and absolutely charming. Niccolò is a fantastic host. He teaches the art of making fresh pasta with patience and humour, then treats you to an exceptional antipasto spread paired with the family's own wine. Finally, you enjoy the pasta you’ve made, generously topped with fresh truffle — unforgettable. The truffle dog, Tabbu (a Lagotto), is friendly, energetic, and clearly loves his work. His owner, a licensed truffle hunter, takes the time to explain everything about truffles, the forest, and how these remarkable dogs are trained. Take the time to enjoy this relaxed, authentic, and deeply memorable experience. It’s the kind of encounter that stays with you long after you’ve left Italy.

My husband and I absolutely loved our time with Fabrizio and his family! The short hike in the woods for truffle hunting was peaceful and beautiful. It was so fun watching and learning from the truffle hunter and his sweet and energetic dog! We found plenty of truffles for the delicious lunch we had later in the day. After the hunt, we came back to the farm and made pasta as a group, and then gathered for a lunch of one of the most impressive charcuterie boards I have ever seen, before eating the pasta we just made. All overlooking the idyllic Tuscan countryside. Truly an incredible experience that I highly recommend.

An amazing experience, absolutely authentic and some of the best food we have had in Italy. Genuine hosts and very knowledgeable. Our children had a 10/10 experience

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life . They were all so welcoming and kind . The experience is 100% worth the try . Highly recommend.

I take time to write reviews when the experience has been above expectations and meant to be known to others. Such is the case with my recent visit to Cofferi 1242 for a truffle hunt and pasta class with lunch. Be prepared for an afternoon full of adventure and experience at this delightful location. The offering is authentic and beautiful in the Tuscan countryside surrounded by wine fields, olive groves and forest. We begin the adventure with a truffle hunt with an experienced dog and its handler searching for the “black gold”. It was enjoyable to do the hunt and be in nature and learn all about truffles. After our truffle hunt, and the dog did find some, we were brought to an outside terrace location to make pasta over the beautiful landscape. Then after we have made the pasta, we are then taken to sit for our lunch on a terrace over the Olive groves where we enjoyed a meal of Truffle pasta and other delicious foods. This for me, was a truly special Tuscan experience. I was a part of a Tour called Brix -in Italy experience. This visit was a part of an organized tour curated by Brix, Moncton N.B. Canada.

We had the best time truffle hunting and making pasta with this family! We found several truffles which was amazing. We now can make scratch pasta and they prepared the most delicious lunch with the truffles and pasta. They also made a beautiful charcuterie board and served wine!!

If you want to experience Tuscany beyond the postcard-perfect views and exceptional wines, Colleri 1242 is an absolute must. We cannot say enough about the unforgettable experience we had with Fabrizio and Niccolò during a perfect December visit to their family farm. From the moment we arrived, Fabrizio warmly shared the rich history of the farm and his personal journey into crafting his own wines, olive oil, and the remarkable Fogliamaro liqueur. The day began with an exhilarating truffle hunt, with Aria expertly sniffing out black truffles right before our eyes — truly magical. We then rolled up our sleeves to learn how to make fresh pasta, followed by a spectacular spread of local and house-made cheeses and cured meats. The meal continued with our perfectly cooked pasta (covered by the black truffles just dug up) and ended on the sweetest note with Camilla’s homemade apple crisp — pure comfort and perfection. This is more than a tour; it’s an intimate, heartfelt immersion into Tuscan life, hospitality, and tradition. And don’t forget to ask to meet Colonnello the donkey and the two adorable goats — they’re part of the family charm. Colleri 1242 is an experience we’ll treasure forever and highly recommend to anyone seeking a truly authentic Tuscan vacation.

100% recommended this experience if you are in Tuscany! We enjoyed the truffle hunting together with Marco and Taboo, we were lucky to find 5 truffles in the morning and the pasta making session was very fun too! Lunch is amazing!

We had an awesome time. Really enjoyed the hike to look for truffles with Luca and his dog Tabu. Tabu was such a cute dog and was successful in finding the truffles. Brava Tabu as Luca would say and reward him with treats after his find. The family at this farmhouse were so hospitable and we enjoyed making the pasta and the fabulous pasta meal with the truffles afterwards! What a great memory! Would recommend!
