Truffle hunt

Aaron_R, Sep 2025

This was a phenomenal experience. Searching for truffles while on a beautiful hike through the mountains. Our guide Giuseppe was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us everything about the area and truffles. The lunch afterwards was also an experience sampling our truffles on an excellently prepared meal consisting of multiple different courses that all highlight the truffles.

Unique Experience

Kimberly_P, Oct 2021

This adventure was one of the highlights of my vacation to Amalfi coast. The driver picked us at our hotel and we headed out for a drive around the coast through the central part of Italy up into the mountains. We met at a cozy cafe for breakfast to meet up with the licensed hunter and his dog Argo. It’s hard to believe this fluffy friendly dog is so talented. After our successful hunt we enjoyed a beautiful dinner at a local restaurant and the chef prepared many dishes where we tasted our black truffles that Argo found for us. Wonderful tour! Highly recommended!
