Totally unique experience
We were instantly made to feel welcome by this warm & friendly family. Our visit started with some local liquers - totally unlike anything back home. After chatting for a bit, we made our way into the "restaurant" area. We were seated at two tables (we were a large group), while Petra explained about truffles, their history, the varieties, etc. During this time, we enjoyed local meats & cheeses while Petra prepared scrambled eggs with truffles. After eating our fill, we joined Miro and his dogs (Jackie & Ella) on a truffle hunt. We walked thru the woods for about an hours, watching the dogs look for truffles. They found several on our trek. Pretty amazing experience It was a wonderful example of the local culture and history. Can't recommend it enough

Great for families, someone come get your nonna
Someone come get your nonna, holy cow this place was amazing. The truffle hunt was informative and interactive, the right length of time. Great with my 5 and 9 year old. You felt personally apart of this family, they made extra truffle free scramble eggs for my picky eater 5yr old, the place was so inviting. It felt like visiting family on the weekend. It was so cool to watch the dogs work. I highly recommend this experience.

Great truffle experience
This was such a fun way to learn about the exotic truffle, both black and white. The three of us really didn’t know anything about how truffles are found, what constitutes a good truffle or a bad one, why dogs are used in Croatia, what the seasons are for truffle hunting. We were met graciously when we arrived a bit early and offered three different brandies and elderberry water. We were introduced to Miro, who owns this enterprise, told what would happen and what we should expect. The dogs clearly understood what was to happen. They were in their kennels, excitedly barking waiting to hop in the van to go to the forest. After a short drive to the forest, Miro explained that he had a license from the government to enable him to hunt truffles. He also has land on which he planted some 250 trees of different kinds. Just recently, after about 13 years, his dogs found a truffle at the base of one of the trees. We walked into the forest with Miro and the two dogs. He encouraged the dogs to hunt and within a few minutes they vigorously started digging. He pushed them out of the way, pulling up a black truffle which we passed around and smelled. The dogs subsequently sniffed several white truffles. We returned to Miro’s home and store, enjoyed an excellent lunch during which truffles were used in every course. We sampled dishes that had either white truffles or black, helping us to taste the difference. The explanations were clear, the food was excellent, the very nice white wine was local.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovinj.
How much does Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun cost?
+
Prices start at $128 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovinj usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovinj is not rushed.
Is Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 163 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Rovinj, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun?
+
Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovinj can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovinj and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Truffle Hunting and 3-course Truffle Brunch in Motovun start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovinj within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovinj?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovinj experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include BUBA-Kayak Tours Rovinj FREE-drinks,pictures,snorkeling equipment, Truffle hunting adventure, Rovinj amazing kayak tour-free drink &snorkeling &jumps &photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovinj?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovinj?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
