About this experience
We are at the top of the Chianti hills with breathtaking views, only 18km from Florence. With a local guide and a truffle hunting dog who detects fantastic aroma, it is possible to participate in this unusual event of truffle hunting. This activity starts off with a warm welcome with an introduction to explain the growth of this unusual tuber. It is not only designed for culinary lovers, but an exciting way of getting in touch with the Tuscan nature. After the hunt, you will be able to enjoy the dinner, all truffle based from fresh pasta with grated truffle, a main course with truffle and even desert with truffle!

When passion is the glue between discovery and taste
Every year I usually give an experience to my wife for her birthday and when I discovered this proposal I was intrigued. I didn't know what to expect, the risk was that it was the classic tourist attraction. Instead Faye's passion and energy guided us through an experience from which I, but especially my wife, came out extremely excited and satisfied. It all starts with a brief briefing before entering the woods with ginger and roger, the two cute lakes that (spoilers) have found almost 1 kg of truffle (most of which edible). After receiving free small scorzoni (a variety of black truffle typical of the summer period in this area) the activity moved to the nearby restaurant where we were prepared 3 courses + dessert made with seasonal truffles. All dishes have been expertly prepared, highlighting every single ingredient, and accompanied by their best wine to match. As for drinks, praise goes to their vermouth, with a very pleasant floral taste. Regardless of the originality of the proposal, which amuses and involves young and old, I would recommend the lavacchio farm because the people who deal with transmitting its values succeed in the intent to make you miss them. In fact we will be back. Thank you!

Hunting truffles with dogs, amazing, then a marvelous, memorable meal!
Before heading for a tour of the wine cellars we accompanied Paolo and his dogs Peggy and Pippo out into the forest to hunt for truffles. It was good exercise going up and down the hills, and good for the spirit to be out there in nature gathering food with the help of another species. By the time we got back to the farm I was high on the experience and quite determined to convince my friends that they too must come to the farm and do the same thing. A life lived without a single truffle hunt is barely a life lived at all! Later, at the farm ‘Mulino A Vento’ restaurant, chef Mirko Margheri cooked us a vegan feast. We ate at a table overlooking some of the farm’s vineyards. There was cacao coloured pasta with a hint of truffle, savoy cabbage wrapped in broccoli leaf sat in a masala and turmeric chickpea cream, a colourful starter made from pureed veg, and a sorbet for dessert. We drank ‘Puro’, which is 100% sangiovese, and ‘Pachar’, a blend of Chardonnay, Sauv Blanc and Viognier grapes (which are all grown on the top of the hill to the east of the restaurant). It was excellent wine, and all the better because it was made with grapes from the fields within sight of my table.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills?
+
Around 2 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Truffle Picking Experience with 3 Course Meal in Chianti hills 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 Florence 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 Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. 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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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.
