About this tour
A 4-hour truffle hunting experience on Hungary's largest family-run burgundy truffle farm, 40 km outside Budapest. You'll hunt for truffles in a forest park with trained dogs, then return to a Mediterranean-style terrace to enjoy a multi-course meal prepared with your fresh find, paired with house wine and truffle brandy. Combines active foraging with a sit-down tasting menu in the Gerecse hills.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the farm and receive a welcome glass of truffle brandy. After a brief introduction, you'll head out with the farm's trained dogs into the forest park to hunt for burgundy truffles—the dogs do the locating whilst you experience the search firsthand. This typically takes 1.5–2 hours depending on the season and finds.
Once back at the property, you'll settle onto the open-air terrace with wine and water whilst the kitchen prepares your meal using the truffles you've found. You'll eat through a tasting menu of cold and warm dishes—truffle spreads with fresh bread, a meat main course, and a truffle dessert—finishing with coffee or tea. Wine flows throughout.
