San Miniato is not just another stop on a Tuscan itinerary. It is the world capital of truffle — a place where the forest changes with the seasons and every visit offers something different. What you find is what the land has to give at that precise moment: not a standardised product, but something alive. This experience takes you to the heart of that world. **How it works** The experience begins at a 16th-century estate that hosts the experiences. From there, you enter the forests of San Miniato with Francesca, a professional truffle hunter with decades of experience and her trained truffle dog. The hunt is real: no script, no pre-hidden truffles. You walk, you listen, you learn to read the woodland. Back at the estate, you sit down to taste: the truffles just collected, farm produce, local wine. A meal made from what the forest gave that morning. Eleonora — your point of contact — handles your booking and all communication before arrival. She speaks Italian and English and responds quickly to any question.
