Jump into incredible experiences of truffle hunting adventure with a professional. Discover the mysterious world of the pearl of Istria. Get to know the recipe for the best dish with truffles. Typical Istrian pasta "fuži" with truffles, a glass or two :) of excellent Istrian Malvasia wine, and good company ... priceless! The Istrian truffle is highly prized by culinary chefs. Let's uncover its secrets: how it is searched for, why they use dogs for hunting, what varieties of truffles we know, why the price is sky-high, the history of (forbidden) hunting in Istria and other facts. After the exhilarating hunt, your experience culminates in cooking a traditional Istrian pasta “fuži”, lovingly enriched with fresh truffles. Paired with a glass of Istrian Malvasia you will learn how to recognize fresh truffles from its imitations ... and enjoy under the pergola of the Istrian homestead. Come as a guest, leave as a friend.

I went with my girlfriend. It was very educational but the best part was ofcourse the food and the drinks. It was worth every penny and more!

We were very lucky to have a private experience. The truffle hunter and dog were amazing and the host translated everything he said. The hunting was wonderful to watch and the dog was able to find 3 truffles. After the hunt the host invited us to her beautiful home, where she prepared a lovely meal for us with small plates of cheese, meat and vegetables from her garden. We sat on her outside terrace which was pleasant and inviting. She then cooked a delicious pasta and truffle dish for us to enjoy. Her knowledge of truffles was impressive and we learned so much from her. We highly recommend this tour.

This was a very unique and incredible experience. The intimate group and the knowledgeable guide was fabulous. The first part of this tour does require a moderate fitness ability but the forest walk and truffle hunting was very cool. However the delicious meal that followed was an absolute not to miss experience. Absolutely delicious and very lovely day.
