Description

Deep in the Puglian countryside, one of the region’s most prized ingredients is waiting to be found. Accompanied by a master truffle hunter and trained dogs, your family will venture into a natural truffle ground, learning how these hidden treasures are found and discovering the traditions and knowledge behind the hunt.

After the forest adventure, continue to a private estate to explore its truffle ground and synergistic vegetable garden. Then join a local chef for a hands-on cooking class, where children and adults will prepare dishes inspired by Puglian traditions using seasonal ingredients and truffles.

Finally, gather around the table to enjoy the meal you have prepared, accompanied by a wine pairing for the adults. From searching among the trees to cooking and tasting together, the experience follows the truffle on its complete journey from forest to table.

Meeting point: In the forest. The exact location will be confirmed according to your accommodation.
