Truffle Hunting Experience Siena Tartufi

Alex and Sarah were very nice and patient they explained a lot acknowledges about truffles to us.The dog monca was also very cute. Walking in the woods of Tuscany in the morning, you can feel the dew in the morning, the sun is warm on your , and the air is full of the smell of earth and truffles. Everything is perfect.

This hunting truffle experience with Alessandro was an amazing experience for me, my mom, my husband, and my aunt and uncle! We enjoyed learning about truffle hunting and watching Moka find 6 truffles. Brava, Moka! I will note to wear good shoes for walking in mud! My mom also has a bad knee and walking up the hill at the end was difficult for her. Our tour group was a larger group than normal, which Alessandro acknowledged and apologized for; however, the experience still felt close and personal, especially once we met up in his truffle shop in downtown Siena. Alessandro served us multiple dishes that showcased the truffle, and we were able to purchase many truffle products, including a fresh white truffle that we used for homemade Cacio e Pepe on New Year’s Eve. I would highly recommend doing this tour! It was one of the highlights of my 3 week Italian trip. Grazie Mille, Alessandro!

We had a wonderful truffle hunting experience with just my family, Alessandro, Moka and Tatiana - on a beautiful winter morning it was the best way to start our day! Alessandro and Tatiana were knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting information about truffles and the dogs that find them. Moka was incredible as she found 5-6 large white truffles and several black (brava Moka!) The tasting of delicious truffle products back at Alessandro’s shop topped off a great morning. Many thanks to Alessandro for also arranging a booking at Osteria Babazuf to taste white truffles with pasta - it was a great recommendation. Grazie Mille!

If you’re into food or the outdoors, or both, you can’t miss this! Alessandro is so warm and friendly and his dogs are sweet, playful and extremely talented. Mocha is a sweet girl with a serious work ethic, she found both black and white truffles super fast and was a delight to watch work. The tasting afterwards at the shop was delicious and the lady running it for us was hilarious and a local explaining many cultural events and traditions to us in depth. We would highly recommend going, but be sure to wear shoes you can get wet or muddy that have good grips!

Very passionate, good with kids, loves his dog. His assistance at the shop was amazing with my toddler!
