Description
One of the most refined truffle experiences near Florence, this small-group activity combines authentic truffle hunting in the Tuscan countryside with a guided wine tasting at a historic family-run winery in San Gimignano.
Your experience begins in the woods surrounding San Gimignano, where you’ll join an expert truffle hunter and trained dog in search of fresh seasonal truffles. After a brief introduction to truffle varieties, hunting techniques, and the unique bond between hunter and dog, you’ll head into carefully selected woodland areas known for their ideal truffle-growing conditions.
Each hunt is different — nature decides the outcome — but the thrill of discovery and the connection with the land make every experience unforgettable. At the end of the hunt, participants receive a small gift of fresh truffles along with practical advice on how to store and use them.
Wine Tasting in a Historic Family-Run Winery
The experience continues at a family-run winery in San Gimignano, far from mass tourism and deeply rooted in local tradition. This historic estate has chosen to preserve and restore vineyards dating back to the 1960s, maintaining authentic grape varieties rather than replacing them with modern plantings.
You’ll enjoy:
-Guided tasting of four estate wines
-Cellar visit with explanation of production techniques
-Vineyard tour with panoramic countryside views
White wines grown on tuffaceous soils express freshness and aromatic elegance, while the reds, cultivated on rocky and well-drained terrain, offer structure and depth typical of the region.
The tasting is paired with:
-Fresh truffle bruschetta
-Local cured meats
-Tuscan cheeses
Led by a professional sommelier, this truffle hunting and wine tasting experience in San Gimignano offers a complete immersion into Tuscan craftsmanship, combining nature, tradition, and terroir.
