Sit back, relax, and get ready for an unforgettable day in the Tuscan countryside.
1. Morning: A Four-Generation Family Truffle Hunt
Our morning begins with one of our greatest and most guarded passions. We will head into the secret, shaded woods of the Chianti hills for an authentic Truffle Hunting Experience. This is a profound local tradition that has been passed down through family generations for four generations. Together with expertly trained, beloved truffle dogs, you will learn how to read the forest, understand the soil, and experience the incredible thrill of unearthing seasonal truffles directly from the ground.
2. Midday: The Art of Homemade Pasta & Lunch
After the excitement of the hunt, we will transform our fresh treasure into an extraordinary culinary memory. You will join an intimate, hands-on cooking experience where we will teach you how to prepare authentic homemade pasta from scratch. This is not a standard cooking school recipe; you will learn the traditional methods and secrets passed down through family tradition.
Once the cooking is complete, we will gather around the table for a spectacular, relaxed lunch. You will enjoy the delicious pasta you created, enriched by the fresh truffles found during the morning, accompanied by traditional family-style sides, local delicacies, and excellent local wine.
3. Afternoon: An Intimate, Family-Run Cellar Visit
To complete this perfect Tuscan day, we will drive through the rolling vineyards to visit a very special, intimate family-run cellar located in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. These passionate winemakers are dear, long-time family friends.
You will enjoy an exclusive, private tour of their beautiful estate and historical aging cellar, followed by a premium tasting of their Chianti Classico wines and artisanal extra virgin olive oil. It is a magical afternoon to enjoy breathtaking views, chat with the producers, and experience true Tuscan hospitality away from the commercial crowds.
