Truffle Hunt & Tasting – Tuscany's Truffle Capital

5.0(1)3 hFree cancellationBy Eleonora Signature Tours

About this activity

- San Miniato is internationally recognized as the truffle capital — this is geography and history, not marketing

- Francesca is a professional truffle hunter by trade, not a tour guide with a borrowed dog

- The truffles you taste are found during your experience — fresh, not preserved

- Small group (max 10 guests) or private option: no crowds, no tour buses

1. **Hunt** for truffle in the forests of San Miniato with a professional truffle hunter and her trained dog — the variety changes with the season

2. **Learn** the secrets of the search: truffle biology, seasons, how to read a productive woodland

3. **Taste** fresh truffles collected during your own experience, paired with local farm produce and wine

4. **Explore** a historic 16th-century estate at the heart of the world's truffle capital

5. **Experience** a small group outing (max 10 guests) or private format — no crowds, no rush

6. **Take home** the memory of a morning in the Tuscan forest
