Fun and complete experience
I didn't give 5 stars, because I believe that the truffle hunt cannot take place at all times of the year. We were there at the beginning of May, a period in which hunting is forbidden in Valpolicella and the truffles are not ripe. For this reason, we only did a reduced hunt near the estate.
In any case, we learned a lot about truffles and truffle dogs, thanks to an extremely knowledgeable truffle hunter.
The splendid sunny day and the company made everything perfect.
