  Truffle Hunting

  Enjoy an immersive truffle hunting and tasting tour in Istria with your local host, Alex. Set in the picturesque village of Livade, at the foot of the legendary Motovun Forest, this unique adventure combines a traditional truffle hunt, a truffle-inspired lunch, tastings of premium Istrian specialties, and a visit to a local honey producer. Join Alex and his expertly trained truffle dogs for a guided walk through the enchanting Motovun Forest. Beneath ancient oak, elm, and poplar trees, watch the dogs expertly track the scent of hidden truffles before uncovering one of nature's most prized delicacies. While the truffle hunt itself may be shared with other visitors, Alex remains your dedicated guide, offering fascinating insights into the history, traditions, and techniques of truffle hunting in Istria. The hunt typically lasts up to one hour. After the hunt, savor a truffle-inspired lunch at a local restaurant, perfectly paired with a glass Istrian wine.
