Explore the Beautiful Tuscan Countryside with Truffle Hunting from Italian Hospitality Collection ...
Fonteverde, Bagni di Pisa and Grotta Giusti, part of the Italian Hospitality Collection, are offering guests the opportunity to explore the Tuscan countryside by participating in Italy’s most prestigious tradition, Truffle Hunting, from September until December.
Tuscany is well-known for having an environment conducive to growing the elusive white truffle and the surrounding areas are particularly rich in the sought-after ingredient.
Truffle hunts for visitors are organised together with an expert and authorised English speaking truffle hunter and his well-trained dog. During the expedition guests will be given a complete explanation of what truffles are, how they reproduce and what their ideal habitat is. After a morning foraging the woods, guests visiting in November can head to the market at the famous White Truffle Festival in Crete Senesi, which takes place on the 9th – 10th and 16th – 17th of November 2019 at San Giovanni d’Asso. Guests of Bagni di Pisa and Grotta Giusti can visit the White Truffle Festival of San Miniato, which is held on the 9th – 10th, 16th – 17th and the 23rd – 24th of November 2019. At both events, frequented by truffle enthusiasts and professionals of the industry, prized truffles are exhibited and sold and a host of delicious tastings are on offer.
For guests who wish to relax and unwind, Fonteverde, Bagni di Pisa and Grotta Giusti’s prestigious spa’s offer an even better experience in the winter months, as the cooler temperatures produce clouds of therapeutic steam above the thermal pools.
