Discover the joy of cooking with this remarkable ingredient
A small-group truffle hunt followed by a hands-on 2-hour cooking class where you'll learn to prepare a traditional Tuscan truffle menu.
You are invited to become part of a Tuscan family, sharing the work in the kitchen. You'll learn how to clean fresh truffles, guided step by step by an expert and a chef who will reveal their secrets.

If you prefer not to drive, we can book a car or minivan with a personal chauffeur for you (please specify it when booking) — the cost is €250 for up to 3 people and €300 for up to 8. Guests based in Florence can also take the train to San Miniato-Fucecchio and continue by taxi.
Join a guided truffle-hunting walk with a professional hunter and dog through the woods near San Miniato.
Head to the estate for a 2-hour hands-on cooking lesson: an expert reveals how to identify authentic truffles by sight, smell and taste, then a chef guides you step by step in the kitchen.
Sit down to the dishes you helped prepare: bruschetta with fresh truffles, Tagliolini al Tartufo, fried eggs or meat with shaved truffle, and dry cakes with Vin Santo.

“The truffle-hunting experience was the highlight of our Italian trip. Francesca welcomed us warmly and made the day feel genuinely personal, sharing her knowledge and passion throughout. Between the search in the countryside and the delicious food and wine afterward, every part was memorable. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.”

“I'd give this truffle hunt and cooking class six stars and two thumbs up! Informative and fun, the truffle hunt with Francesca was a great walk in the woods with Coco showing his penchant for finding both white and black truffles. The cooking class truly felt like an inclusive family experience with Francesca's mom teaching us the finer points of making gnocchi and stuffed zucchini with truffle sauce, of course! The meal was yummy, the wine flowed, and a good time was had by all!”
