Autumn is the season that sees Tuscany donning its warmest features, as the vast expanses of vineyard take on a golden hue, the shades of the warm sunsets over the gently rolling hills conjure up images of Renaissance paintings, and the earth offers up its most precious gifts: truffles. “Hunting for Truffles” combines the picturesque Tuscan countryside with the age-old tradition of truffle hunting, all while being eco-conscious at heart.

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.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to Florence with a stop at Piazzale Michelangelo for a sunset toast. With a stunning panoramic view of the city bathed in golden light, this moment serves as a reminder of Tuscany’s timeless beauty and the hotel’s commitment to protecting it.

Back at Hotel Savoy, you’ll conclude your adventure with a truffle-inspired dinner at Irene, where Chef Giovanni Cosmai celebrates Tuscany’s authentic flavors with locally sourced ingredients. Highlights of the menu include Tartare di manzo del Mugello con tartufo and bruschettone con uovo, funghi, pecorino e tartufo. This unique experience offers you a culinary adventure that honors Tuscany’s past and future.
