What to expect

We welcome you with three homemade rakijas and elderflower water before a short break and toilet stop. Then, guests follow us in their cars for a 5-minute scenic drive to our truffle grove and forest with a stunning view of Motovun. You'll join our expert truffle hunters and two trained dogs, Bella and Lila, for a 1-hour truffle hunt through the grove and forest, learning how truffles grow and how the dogs find them.

After the hunt, we return to our home and gather in the summer kitchen for a three-course truffle tasting. First, enjoy a selection of truffle spreads, cheeses, salami, and local olive oils. Then we prepare scrambled eggs with your fresh truffles right in front of you. Finally, we serve our homemade truffle chocolate cake.

Throughout the experience, we share stories about truffles, our region, and our family. Our team speaks six languages, and we include a food anthropologist to enrich the experience.
