This 8-hour small-group tour from Florence takes you truffle hunting in the woods of San Miniato in Tuscany and on to San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Follow a truffle hunter and his trained dog to find truffles in the woods, then enjoy a truffle-based lunch with handmade pasta and local wine. You also taste wine and tour the underground cellar at a medieval winery and an 18th-century villa, with a local English-speaking guide who is a certified sommelier leading a small group of up to 8 people.
At 8:30 AM, meet your local guide and certified sommelier at the meeting point in central Florence and set off into the Tuscan countryside in an air-conditioned van. After about 50 minutes you reach San Miniato, where you start truffle hunting in the woods with a truffle hunter and his skilled dog. Learn how truffles are found, their importance in Italian cuisine and the special bond between the hunter and his dog.
After the hunt, enjoy a truffle-based lunch with fresh handmade pasta. Taste a variety of local dishes full of the flavor of Tuscan truffles paired with regional wines; a vegetarian menu is also available.
