About this tour
A 4-hour food and nature experience combining truffle hunting in the Tuscan countryside with a pasta-making class and truffle-based lunch. You'll search for truffles with a guide, learn to make fresh pasta by hand, then eat what you've made alongside local wines and extra virgin olive oil. Suits food enthusiasts and nature lovers who want something beyond a standard cooking class.
Highlights
- Guided truffle hunting in Chianti woodland
- Hands-on fresh pasta-making workshop

- Tastings of local wines and extra virgin olive oil
- Tuscan countryside setting throughout
- Prams and strollers accommodated for infants
What to expect
You'll start with truffle hunting in the Tuscan landscape, guided through woodland to search for these prized fungi. Once you've returned with your finds, you move into a pasta-making session where you'll learn to craft fresh pasta by hand. The experience wraps with a seated lunch featuring dishes made with the truffles you hunted, paired with the farm's own wines and olive oil.
The full sequence takes 4 hours. Expect to be outdoors and on your feet during the hunting portion, then indoors and at a table for the pasta class and meal. The pace is designed to flow naturally from foraging to kitchen to table.

Good to know
This suits anyone interested in where food comes from and willing to get hands-on in both the field and kitchen. No special fitness level is required, though the hunting portion involves walking uneven terrain in the countryside — wear sturdy shoes and dress for outdoor conditions. Infants and small children can be brought; prams, strollers and specialised infant seats are available. Service animals are welcome. Lunch is included; wines and oil tastings are part of the experience. Group size isn't specified, so check when booking. Peak season will likely be truffle season (autumn to early winter), so book ahead if visiting then.
