The white gold of the Crete Senesi and San Miniato: Truffle

Whether a carpaccio (sliced paper thin), in sauces or on pasta, truffles – one of the rarest and most delectable foods – are always good. You will take part in a truffle hunt in the Crete Senesi, the spectacular clayey hills south of Siena or the San Miniato area. You will be helped in the hunt by the extraordinary sense of smell of a Lagotto Romagnolo, an expert truffle dog. During this singular excursion, our local guides will tell you all about the local truffle-hunting tradition, sharing anecdotes and secrets. Your experience will end up with a truffle based lunch.
