Truffle
hunting and tasting experience in Tuscany
Half-day tour with walk in
the woods of San Miniato in search of black
and white truffles and tasting of truffle-based
products
Private half-day truffle hunting and tasting
experience
in the area of San Miniato close to Pisa
The
real treasure of the Tuscan underground
is the typical white truffle
that grows in the region together
with the black truffle. Every year
the town San Miniato celebrates
a national festival where people
can taste a lot of truffle-based products
as well as some fresh truffles.
Arianna & Friends organizes half-day
truffle hunting tours joined with
a truffle tasting in one of
the most famous local truffle shops
of Tuscany.
It is an unrepeatable experience
both for your nose and your mouth!
An English speaking privatetour leader (on request also
German, Spanish, French, Italian or
Russian are available) meets you together
with a local truffle hunter and
brings you through the woods of the
Pisan hills for a truffle
hunting of 2 hours together with
some dogs.
After the hunting a tasting of
truffle oil, truffle paste and truffle-based
products is organized in a very
famous local truffle shop.
It will be your unforgettable memory
of Tuscany!
We organize also simple truffle
based lunches only at the truffle
shop.

This
is an email we received on 22nd
May 09 from Jennifer and Kris
who met us for a truffle hunting
tour:
Dear
Massimo,
Thank you for what was definitely
the highlight of our trip to
Florence. Kris and I had such
a fantastic time truffle hunting
with you, Riccardo, Stella and
Nebbia. It was such an unforgettable,
unique experience, and Monica
and Riccardo couldn't have been
nicer.
I told my travel agent what
a fantastic experience it was
using Arianna & Friends
and that I absolutely recommend
your trips. Kris and I have
already decided that when we
go back to Italy, we want to
spend the entire time just taking
your tours! Not only did we
have a fantastic time in San
Miniato, but we truly enjoyed
talking with you in the car
on the way there and back -
we learned so much from you
and had so much fun!
As promised, here are some of
the pictures we took that day.
Again, thank you for your amazing
hospitality and kindness. We'll
definitely call you before our
next trip and can't wait to
use Arianna and Friends again.
