Experience in truffle ground

Truffle hunting experience in Savigno, in the Bolognese Apennines

Authentic Experiences in Savigno

From the woods to the table:
experience the world of truffles

Enter the nature of the Bolognese Apennines with a truffle hunter and their dogs. Discover how truffle hunting begins and choose how to continue your day: with a tasting, a cooking class, or a lunch dedicated to local flavors.

This is not just an organized excursion, but an encounter with a family who has lived with truffles and Bolognese cuisine for generations.

Let's start with a chat

No immediate payment and no commitment: we'll respond personally to understand what you're looking for.

An experience linked to our history

Our family has been working with truffles in the hills of Savigno for over thirty years. We search for them in the woods, bring them to the kitchen, and use them in our traditional family recipes.

During the experience, you won't witness a staged performance for tourists: you'll enter the real rhythm of the hunt, meet the dogs, hear stories and curiosities, and discover why every season, every terrain, and every truffle is different.

Words from those who lived the experience

“An absolutely amazing truffle tour. We brought our two kids along, and it was such a memorable experience for the whole family. A unique and authentic way to experience the region, which we will remember for many years.”
