Come and visit us to enjoy one of the most authentic and exciting experiences that our region has to offer: truffle hunting in the woods and hills surrounding Acqualagna, the undisputed capital of this prized tuber. The adventure begins at 9:00 a.m., departing from the Acqualagna Tartufi facility, located just two minutes from the centre of the village. Here, you will meet the truffle hunter and his faithful trained dog, ready to take you on a delightful walk through the woods. You will come into contact with an ancient and fascinating world, made up of silence, anticipation and sudden discoveries. Each step will be an opportunity to learn about the secrets passed down from generation to generation, the foraging techniques and the profound connection that binds humans, animals and nature.
After the walk, the experience continues with a visit to the truffle processing plant, where a specialised guide will take you behind the scenes of the transformation process: from the freshly harvested raw material to the finished product. You’ll get a close-up look at the processes that preserve the truffle’s unmistakable aroma, transforming it into creams, sauces and gourmet delicacies enjoyed all over the world. At this point, the discovery will become sensory: in our shop, a food tasting of typical local products awaits you, naturally paired with truffles, to best enhance their flavour and understand their versatility in the kitchen. This is the perfect opportunity to let yourself be guided on a little journey through authentic flavours that speak of tradition and artisanal quality. The route concludes with lunch at Braceria Plinc, a renowned local restaurant that makes the most of the area's culinary excellence. Here you will savour a menu dedicated to black truffle with iconic dishes of our cuisine: warm crostini enriched with black truffle cream, scrambled eggs with generous shavings and the quintessential fresh tagliatelle, prepared according to tradition, which releases all the aroma and intensity of this treasure of the earth. It's not just a lunch or a walk: it's an immersive and unforgettable experience that will let you experience the magic of truffles from every angle – from the thrilling search in the woods to the passionate stories of the truffle hunters, and finally the pleasure of the table. A unique opportunity to learn about truffle culture up close, discover the authentic beauty of our region and take home an indelible memory made up of unforgettable aromas, emotions and flavours.
The children's price also includes a pasta dish during lunch.
