Spend a day in the pristine woods of the Lucanian mountains, guided by an expert truffle hunter and his Lagotto dogs.

Learn the secrets of this prized delicacy—its natural habitat, the varieties found in the region, and the art of truffle hunting.

The experience concludes with a tasting of fine truffle-based products.

This tour also helps preserve traditional truffle hunting and supports the protection of a rare natural environment where truffles still grow wild, unlike the increasingly common cultivated ones.
