With an expert truffle hunter we comb the truffle-rich forests and pastures,
following his highly trained dogs as they hunt.
There are amazing views to be had in every direction as we stroll the countryside.
When we have enough truffles for lunch, we stop in a really panoramic spot and
have your first taste of a freshly dug truffle and a glass or two of Prosecco.
Then we sit down to a big traditional Umbrian mountain lunch where all our recipes have a ‘wild’ flavor:
maybe stew, roast guinea fowl, stuffed duck or rabbit.
Family and friends from the village join us for a relaxing, fun and totally authentic lunch.

It’s great for foodies and wine-lovers, or for anyone just wanting to immerse themselves in the landscapes.
