Truffle hunting is an ancient tradition in Tuscany and requires only one rule: respect for nature. The truffle hunter will give a small briefing before going into the woods; once ready, he will tell clients about the truffle, the magic of its traditions, its history, the legends which recall its myth, its uses in the kitchen and you will learn how to recognize and distinguish a good truffle from other “fake” truffles of inferior quality and artificial products. After your truffle-based lunch, you will have some spare time to visit the city of San Miniato before returning to your hotel.
