Truffle Hunting with optional Pisa or Certaldo from Florence

Florence· Renaissance · galleries · walkableEnglish

This unique day trip from Florence is perfect for folks in search of a genuine cultural experience in the heart of Tuscany. Our truffle hunting class is the real deal, led by a Tuscan native who grew up in San Miniato, whose family has been part of the truffle hunting tradition in these parts for generations. Fundamental to the experience is learning about the philosophical approach to truffle hunting that revolves around respect for nature and its creatures. Out in the woods, participants will get to see a truffle dog in action and witness the aspects of human involvement in the hunt. Afterwards, guests will share a home made lunch featuring classic dishes made with truffles of the season as stories are shared about legendary truffles and truffle hunters. This is an immersive experience in Tuscan traditions that involves all your senses. After lunch, you'll have the option to visit Pisa or the Medieval hilltop village of Certaldo.

Where this sits in Florence

Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
