What To Expect

Enjoy incredible experiences of truffle hunting adventure 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!
The Istrian truffle is highly valued by the greatest chefs. It is one of the most expensive culinary ingredients. Let's uncover its secrets: how it is searched for, 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 hunt, we will cook a typical Istrian pasta "fuži" with truffles. We will eat what we cooked and enjoy it with excellent local Malvasia wine. We will also learn how to recognize a meal with real truffles and not with its artificial aromas ... and enjoy good company under the pergola of the Istrian homestead.
Come as a guest, leave as a friend.
