Istria Truffle Hunting Tour - A Three-Dimensional Truffle Adventure
Our signature truffle experience, offers a unique three-dimensional journey through the world of Istria’s most prized delicacy. This immersive experience begins with an exciting truffle hunt in the heart of Slovenia’s truffle-rich forests. Accompanied by an experienced truffle hunter and his well-trained dog, you’ll witness first-hand the intricate process of locating these underground gems.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. After gathering your truffles, you’ll take part in a cooking demonstration to learn how to prepare traditional Istrian dishes, such as the famous fuži pasta with truffles, using an age-old family recipe.
The experience culminates in a guided truffle tasting session, where you’ll enjoy fresh truffles and learn how to distinguish them from artificial substitutes—an expertise unique to our tours.
A Premium Group Experience
This tour is designed for small groups of 1 to 8 people, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience for every participant. Whether you’re a group of friends, a family, or even part of a corporate team-building event, this adventure is tailored to offer the perfect mix of learning, fun, and gourmet indulgence.
