You’ll set off from the hotel’s prime location at Piazza della Repubblica in an electric vehicle, traveling through Florence’s Renaissance city center, past olive groves and vineyards, and up into the surrounding hills.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by Giulio, Hotel Savoy’s dedicated Truffle Concierge, along with his specially trained truffle dogs. Under his expert guidance, the hunt begins as you explore the wooded terrain in search of Tuscany’s famous truffles, known for their earthy and rich flavor. This immersive experience not only highlights Tuscany’s natural beauty but also emphasizes the importance of preserving the environment through responsible practices.
The day’s journey through nature culminates with a visit to Giulio’s estate, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Tuscan dishes using the freshly unearthed truffles. Giulio, along with his assistant Francesca, will share the secrets of crafting Tuscan cuisine that respects both tradition and nature.
