What you can expect

The adventure begins at the Poggio Rubino winery in Montalcino, where we will travel by our own vehicle and immerse ourselves in the fabulous Montalcino woods.

The guide is an experienced dog educator who, together with her good and trusted four-legged helpers, will give you a fun and adventurous experience. During the walk, anecdotes will be told and how the puppy is trained starting with the mother's fetus, birth and life of our searching companion.

It will start with a description of the mouthwatering world of truffles, the different seasons and characteristics of the different types of this delicious fruit, the right areas where to find it along with the flora that surrounds it, tracing its life at 360 degrees from its growth in the soil to its finding to its preservation in the kitchen and the delicacies that can be created.

There is a chance during the trail, which is absolutely passable by everyone because for the most part the terrain is flat, to be able to interact with the surrounding wildlife and to discover peculiar and beautiful animals.

At the end of the hunt, we will visit the winery with an explanation of the entire process, from winemaking to ageing of the famous Brunello, after which we will move to the room where we are expected for the tasty tasting and light lunch.

The three-course Light Lunch will be served in the dining room or on the veranda of the rooftop terrace (depending on availability) and consists of:

  • A traditional Tuscan starter

  • Locally produced cold cuts and cheeses, truffle salami and truffle pecorino cheese tasting;- Traditional bruschetta (toasted bread) with fresh seasonal vegetables from our garden and homemade delicacies;- Bruschetta with fresh truffle;- Egg from our free-range organic chicken coop with fresh truffle shavings;

Wine pairing: Spumante rosé IGT; Rosso di Montalcino Doc.

  • The first course - Pici or handmade tagliatelle (depending on availability) with fresh truffle;

Wine pairing: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino Selezione or Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (depending on availability);

  • Dessert: Our own sweet salami with organic chocolate;

Pairing: Grappa di Brunello di Montalcino (aged 10 years in oak barrels).

In order to make your experience unique for the best organisation, reservation within 72 hours of the start is appreciated.
