Into the Woods: Experience a Real Italian Truffle Hunt

Fresh tuffles on the ground, hand-picked during truffle hunt with Il Tartufo di Massimo in July 2026

Truffles are best understood where they begin — in the woods of Italy.

Join Massimo in Umbria for a truffle-hunting experience and discover what goes on behind one of Italy’s most celebrated ingredients. Accompanied by an experienced truffle hunter and his dog, you’ll head into the countryside to see how these hidden treasures are found beneath the soil.

But the experience doesn’t end with the hunt!

After discovering the truffles, you’ll learn more about their different varieties, seasons and flavours, and get inspiration for how to use them in the kitchen. From simple pasta and eggs to more elaborate dishes, Massimo will share ways to bring fresh truffles to life and make the most of their unique flavour.

It’s a chance to step away from the table and discover the journey behind it — from the forest floor to the plate.

Join us in Italy and experience truffle hunting for yourself.
