Jump into incredible truffle hunting adventures with a professional. Discover the mysterious world of the pearl of Istria. Get to know the recipe for the best dish with truffles. Typical Istrian pasta "fuži" with truffles, a glass or two :) of excellent Istrian Malvasia wine, and good company ... priceless! If you stay in Piran, Portorož, or Koper it is almost a "must do".

Culinary chefs highly prize the Istrian truffle. Let's uncover its secrets: how it is searched, why they use dogs for hunting, what varieties of truffles we know, why the price is sky-high, the history of (forbidden) hunting in Istria, and other facts.

After the exhilarating hunt, your experience culminates in cooking a traditional Istrian pasta “fuži”, lovingly enriched with fresh truffles. Paired with a glass of Istrian Malvasia you will learn how to recognize fresh truffles from its imitations ... and enjoy under the pergola of the Istrian homestead.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend.

Pretty much have to back up what other reviewers have said previously. Very fun experience going out with the truffle hunter and dog to get a sense of what truffle hunting is like, and would have loved to spend even more time in nature! Jerneja was an awesome hostess who really dug deep into all aspects of truffle hunting in Istria, and gave us great tips for discerning properly prepared truffle dishes in the future. Getting to sit with her over wine and the truffle pasta dish was fantastic! Such a warm and welcoming experience, like chatting with an old friend. Absolutely unique experience getting to learn more about the history of truffle hunting and great tips for discerning

As a traveler who doesn't read or know the area, make sure to google pin the start location as the gazon bus stop. Otherwise. Google will send you to the next town over. The truffle hunt was great but I would to participate in a longer hunt. The hunter and dog was great! Our hostess was excellent on her knowledge of truffles. She cooked us a pasta meal with truffles the Istrian way and it was amazing! We did the tour in English. Bought some amazing local products as well. All around great time. If you love truffles, definitely try a truffle hunt.
Incredible Experience!!
