    If truffle is your weakness, you do NOT want to miss this tour!!!

    What an incredible experience! Our host's expertise on truffles was truly impressive, and their professionalism was balanced perfectly with a charming sense of humor. We felt like we were delving deep into the world of truffles, gaining firsthand knowledge that you just can't get anywhere else. And let's not forget the numerous delicious truffle snacks paired with Champagne!! This experience elevated our appreciation for food to a whole new level, and we can't wait to share the memories with our friends. I can’t recommend it enough!!
    Brilliant tour

    A fantastic morning spent in the field watching the dogs discover and dig truffles. Coupled with the excellent education provided and tastings afterwards we now have a fundamental knowledge of how this unique fungus is cultivated and how to use it in recipes. Great value for money and entertaining.
    Must do!!!

    One of our favorite things we have done in France. The host is delightful and funny. The dogs are amazing to watch and so lovable and adorable.The truffle appetizers were delicious along with the champagne. I would highly recommend this activity!
    Unique experience

    By far the best and most memorable experience we had on our trip. Our kids (ages 9 and 11) had a blast. The truffle hunt with the dogs was incredible and the truffle tasting was so much fun. Highly recommend this!!
    A fabulous time!

    This tour was so much fun! Johann was a wonderful host and I learned so much about truffles and truffle hunting. First, he gave us a lesson in truffles and farming truffles and then he let us get to know his adorable truffle hunting dogs (Mirabel, Caramel and Eclair). The truffle hunting itself is exciting as the dogs move from place to place. Post truffle hunting, Johann served up champagne and plenty of different tastes of truffles. He explained what to look for when buying truffles or truffle oil, etc. and answered any other questions. Overall, I learned so much, ate some great food and had an absolutely delightful time. I highly recommend this tour!

    An eye-opening experience around truffles. Well done. We have learned so much - that we will appreciate the taste of truffles in its best way.
    Lived up to my expectations!

    After reading the previous reviews, I had high hopes for a wonderful experience. And it was! Johan was a warm, informative, and witty host. From learning about the truffle industry and his story to watching the dogs in action and to the delicious reception following the hunt, this was worth the 2-hour drive. I highly recommend booking this tour..
    Very fun day

    Educational, fun, and delicious! I learned so much about truffles I didn’t know, and the dogs were adorable! Highly recommend this tour!
    Bucket List experience
    Jayson_M, Jul 2022
    I can’t recommend this experience enough. Seriously, bucket list. I came here with my wife and her sister for my wife’s 40th birthday, and had such a great time. Johann, the host, is hysterical and welcoming, phase 1) he taught us everything there is to know about truffles, phase 2) takes you hunting for truffles with dogs which is amazing and phase 3) serves you a million truffle apps and champagne over a beautiful view from the farm. Literally a perfect experience. If you’re wondering what to wear, you can wear whatever, just comfortable shoes, but you won’t get muddy or sweaty. Thank you Johann!
