Black Truffle Search & Hilltop Town Tour

Taste and learn about truffles, these famous underground mushrooms that are so hard to find and so good to taste. In the depths of the Motovun forest there is a hidden gem, a roman aphrodisiac and venetian forbidden devil's fruit. . . in these modern times, a mushroom known as a truffle. Did you know this mushroom has to be hunted? And for that hunt, we need a dog. . . . join me for the truffle hunt. After the truffle search demonstration, we'll climb up the street where Mario Gabriele Andretti used to race hand-crafted wooden cars downhills with his brother Aldo. I will tell you who Josef Ressel was and who Andrea Antico was, why is the Motovun forest so famous even today and back in the Venetian times why it was fully protected, … these are only some of the stories I will tell you about one of the richest towns of the Venetian Istria. You are welcome to contact me for more details or just to customized the tour especially for you.
