You have a chance to visit Italy and are wondering where you should go and what you should do. Why not schedule truffle hunting in Tuscany? Truffles, that most coveted of delicacies, are commonly found in this region and you will have a chance to how to find them. Truffle tours in Tuscany are quite popular so it is important to make your arrangements in advance.
You can choose to go hunting as a solo tourist but this has its drawbacks – not only will you have to find your way around in a foreign country, you may not have much luck finding truffles because you need to know where and how to look. That is why most people choose truffle hunting group tours – you will be with a group of several other people and the tour company will ensure that you have everything that you need to make your hunt a success. You will get an experienced local guide who knows the best places to find truffles and he will be assisted by a trained dog – in centuries past pigs were used to hunt truffles but because many would eat them it became more prudent to train dogs.
Truffle hunting is not all that you get to do as a group. You will visit local artisans who use skills passed down generations to prepare local delicacies such as cheeses, wine and more. You also get to attend cooking classes where you learn how to prepare some basic but delicious Italian dishes. You can buy local produce to take back home – your family will love you for it.
