Experience one of the Marche region's most fascinating traditions on a guided truffle-hunting tour in Acqualagna, renowned for its truffle culture. Head to Il Sottobosco Farm and get ready to explore a truffle ground together with an experienced truffle hunter and his inseparable dog.
The truffle ground visited is chosen according to the season and the variety of truffle available at that time. During the outdoor walk, you will follow the dog's work, learn to recognise its signals and observe the techniques used to locate these precious treasures hidden in the ground. The truffle hunter will share interesting facts, knowledge and experiences related to truffle hunting, harvesting and cultivation, answering your questions along the way.
This is not just a pleasant walk in nature, but an authentic encounter with people who have in-depth knowledge of the area and preserve a tradition handed down over time. You will learn which conditions favour truffle growth, how the varieties change throughout the year, and why the collaboration between the hunter and his dog is essential.
At the end of the hunt, you will return to the farm, where any truffles collected will be handed over to the chefs and used to prepare a brunch dedicated to local flavours. Savour the specialities on offer, accompanied by local drinks and other products representative of Montefeltro and the Marche region.
Book this experience to enter the world of truffles, get to know the people who hunt for them every day, and discover Acqualagna through authentic aromas, stories and flavours.
