PRIVATE - Truffle Hunting Experience with lunch or dinner on the Parma Hills
Enjoy a tuffle experience on the Parma hills and become a truffle hunter for a day, guided by Flavia and her two truffle dogs.
At the end of the hunt an amazing truffle lunch (or dinner) cooked by Mamma Laura will wait for you, so that you'll also join a Truffle Food Tour (vegetarian, vegan options are also available). Tempted? :)
As you arrive you will be welcomed by our truffle dogs (Lagotto Romagnolo) Trilli, Maya and Ludo, hard workers and part of our family!
We'll start the hunting from our truffle farm and continue into the surrounding woods. Immersed in the nature of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (we are 1 hour drive from the amazing Parma Food Valley and 1 hour drive from La Spezia/Cinque Terre and 1:30 drive from Milan), our dogs will lead you to the truffles, which you'll dig out with your own hands.
Depending on the season, we can find black summer truffles or fall truffles.
The truffle hunting can last between an hour and an hour and a half (it will depend on how much we manage to find!) and will end with a lunch (or dinner) depending on the start time. You'll taste our truffles (the very fresh ones you'll find with the dogs) and our homemade truffle products, all freshly cooked by "chef" Laura :)
It will be a one in a lifetime and unforgettable experience with locals, we promise! :)
The perfect experience for dog lovers, hikers, and foodies! Please wear comfortable clothing (long pants preferred) and shoes with grip.
Vegetarian and vegan guests are very welcome. Let us know in advance if you have food allergies, intolerances, and/or preferences.
The experience also includes a private car at your disposal from the hotel for both the outbound and return transfers.
