We had an awesome experience. The truffle hunt was very exciting and successful. We learned a lot about truffles, the tradition and the process. Also the lunch after the hunt was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

OMG the highlight of my trip!!! I have been wanting to go truffle hunting and this fulfilled all my truffle dreams! First off the truffle dog is amazing!!! He is the smartest, happiest, most affectionate, and entertaining dog!! He quickly found truffles and our guide explained the whole process to us very well. He was great too! Then we had the full dining experience with the local wine pairings. So delicious!!! I love the charcuterie board with all the different things truffle. The truffle pasta was one of my favorites. It was really affordable too. I will never forget my day of truffles!

Noi Italiani siamo fissati con i tartufi e sapendo che ci sono anche in Slovenia abbiamo deciso di andarci. Quando li abbiamo trovati con l'aiuto della guida e il suo cane ci è dispiaciuto non poterli assaggiare e portare a casa. :-) Ovviamente, sono troppo preziosi e cari. Ma dopo siamo andati al ristorante e abbiamo fatto una cena li' in zona a base di tartufi. La giornata e' andata a seconda i piano, l'organizzazione e' stata perfetta e professionale. Lo suggerisco a tutti i visitatori della regione ovest della Slovenia.

Abbiamo deciso di fare un giro in campagna con l'agenzia che organizza la caccia ai tartufi. E' stato tutto organizzato bene, la scampagnata era interessante, abbiamo imparato molto della natura slovena, del Carso e la tecnica di cercare i preziosi tartufi. Il cane della guida li ha trovati abbastanza velocemente e noi tutti contenti. Grazie alla guida Sara per la perfetta giornata.
