Tuscany is a dream any time of year, but the region truly comes alive during the Fall Harvest, from September through November. Almost every town celebrates the ripening of its grapes and other delicacies with food and cultural events, and one of the highlights of our own fall calendar is a truffle hunt in the woods.
The experience
A hunt guided by dogs and an expert
The truffle hunt is offered as either a full-day or half-day activity. It begins with an introduction from our professional truffle guide and his dogs: you'll learn the difference between local white and black truffles, why they matter so much in the world of food and fungi, and how to store and use these delicacies at their best. After the full-day hunt, the guides bring you into the Tenuta Torciano kitchen, where the real magic happens.
In the kitchen
From the woods to the table
You'll learn to cook classic Italian dishes built around truffle: truffle risotto, tagliolini with fresh truffle, truffle lasagna and more. It's an experience for visitors of any age, a chance to dive into Tuscan culture with real passion.
In the cellar
A tasting of Tuscany's best wines
No day at our winery is complete without tasting some of Tuscany's finest wines. More than ten selections from Tenuta Torciano are on offer, including the celebrated Vernaccia of San Gimignano, Brunello di Montalcino, and a range of private reserve wines.
If your fall travels bring you to our area, we'd love to host you — book now and don't miss this experience.
