Step into the Tuscan countryside near Montepulciano and discover the world of truffle hunting with a local expert. This outdoor experience introduces you to one of the region’s most distinctive traditions, combining nature, local knowledge, and time in the forest alongside trained truffle dogs.

Your experience begins at the offices of Fattoria della Talosa, where you will meet the truffle hunter for a short introduction. Learn how truffles grow, what kind of land supports them, and how dogs are trained to detect them. After the briefing, you will follow the truffle hunter’s directions and drive in your own car to the woodland search area, around 15 minutes away.

Once in the forest, spend about 1 hour and 15 minutes watching the dogs at work and learning how to spot the signs of truffles underground. You can take part in the search as the truffle hunter explains the techniques and traditions behind this long-standing Tuscan practice. The activity is designed for adults, families, and anyone curious to experience Montepulciano through its countryside and local customs. The experience finishes after the forest search, leaving time to explore the surroundings.
