Francesca was the best!

This truffle hunting and wine tasting tour in Tuscany was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. We were picked up on time by our amazing guide, Raffaella, who made the drive from Florence to San Miniato enjoyable by sharing fascinating insights about the Tuscan countryside and local traditions. Upon arrival, we met Francesca, the expert truffle hunter, and her talented dog Cioccho. Equipped with rain boots, we headed into the woods for an unforgettable truffle-hunting experience. Watching Cioccho search and find real truffles — two black and two white — was fascinating. Francesca explained every step of the process, from identifying real truffles to ensuring the dog didn’t eat them! The forest walk was peaceful and scenic, with stunning views of olive groves and rolling Tuscan hills. After the hunt, we enjoyed a delicious truffle-themed lunch featuring dishes made with freshly found truffles, paired perfectly with local Tuscan wines. The homemade dessert, Vin Santo, and coffee were the perfect way to end the meal. The day continued with a visit to a Chianti winery, where we learned about winemaking and tasting techniques. We sampled three different Chianti wines — including a Super Tuscan — along with locally produced olive oil, bread, and cheeses. The wines were excellent, and the experience was both educational and relaxing. Everything was perfectly organized, authentic, and full of Tuscan charm. We can’t thank Raffaella, Francesca, Cioccho, and the entire team enough for this wonderful day. If you’re visiting Florence or Tuscany, this truffle hunting and wine tasting tour is an absolute must-do!
