Experience the authentic world of truffle hunting in one of Italy’s most unspoiled regions.
Welcome to Molise, where over 70% of the land is covered by forests and nature still follows its original rhythm. Here, in the hills surrounding the village of Busso, the Di Iorio family has been hunting and working with truffles for three generations.
Your experience begins with a warm welcome at our family-run estate, where you will enjoy a coffee and a brief introduction to the fascinating world of truffles: their history, habitat, and the techniques used to find them.
You will then head into the forest alongside an experienced truffle hunter and trained dogs. Watch how the dogs move freely, guided by instinct and training, as they search for truffles hidden beneath the ground. Learn how to recognise the right environment, understand the bond between hunter and dog, and discover the secrets behind this ancient tradition.
After the excursion, return to our tasting room for a well-deserved food experience. You will enjoy a selection of truffle-based dishes prepared using fresh seasonal truffles, paired with local Molise wines. This is a moment to relax, taste, and fully appreciate the product you have just seen in its natural environment.
This experience is designed to be accessible, authentic, and immersive — ideal for anyone who wants to connect with nature and discover one of Italy’s most prized culinary treasures.
