A great experience. My wife and I were based out of Rovinj, and drove to the Motovun area for the day. A great way to do something different. We didn't find much in the way of truffles on our day, but spending time in the field with the dogs is the fun part, and our lunch (included) featured fresh black and white truffles, so we got the full experience and our money's worth. We met Mihael and the dogs in Motovun, and he drove us to the field. He had plenty of mud boots for us to borrow for the hunt. The homemade lunch back at the family's hotel at the top of Motovun, overlooking the valley, was wonderful, and included an "Istrian" charcuterie board, fuzi pasta made by Mihael's mom and covered with fresh sliced white truffles, homemade donuts with chocolate sauce and shaved truffle, carafes of Malvasia wine and homemade travarica liquor.
