Come and visit us to enjoy one of the most authentic and exciting experiences our region has to offer: truffle hunting in the woods and hills around Acqualagna, the undisputed capital of this precious tuber. The adventure kicks off at 9:00 a.m., starting from the Acqualagna Tartufi factory, just two minutes from the town centre. Here you'll meet the truffle hunter and their trusty trained dog, ready to take you on a scenic walk in the woods. You'll get in touch with an ancient and fascinating world, made of silence, anticipation, and sudden discoveries. Every step will be a chance to learn about the secrets handed down from generation to generation, the hunting techniques, and the deep connection that binds man, animal, and nature.
After the walk, the experience continues with a visit to the truffle processing plant, where a specialised guide will take you behind the scenes of the transformation: from the freshly harvested raw material to the finished product. You'll get a close-up look at the processes that keep the truffle's unmistakable aroma intact, turning it into creams, sauces, and culinary specialities loved around the world. Now, it's time for a sensory adventure! In our shop, you'll find a tasting of local products, naturally paired with truffles to enhance their flavour and showcase their versatility in cooking. It's the perfect chance to let yourself be guided on a little journey through authentic flavours, which speak of tradition and artisanal quality.

Here, you'll savour a menu dedicated to the black truffle, featuring iconic dishes of our cuisine: warm crostini enriched with black truffle cream, scrambled eggs with generous shavings, and the unmissable fresh tagliatella, prepared according to tradition, which releases all the aroma and intensity of this treasure of the earth. It's not just a lunch or a walk: it's an immersive and unforgettable experience that will let you experience the magic of the truffle from every point of view – from the exciting search in the woods, to the passionate storey of the truffle hunters, to the pleasure of the table.
