Do you like dogs? Do you like hikes? Are you a foodie? Then you have found the right experience for you! Tempted? :) Live a 3-hour experience on the Parma hills (in Valmozzola) and become a truffle hunter for a day, guided by Flavia and her two truffle dogs. At the end of the hunt an amazing truffle lunch (or dinner) prepared by Mamma Laura will wait for you, so that you'll also join a Truffle Food Tour (vegetarian and vegan options are also available). As you arrive you will be welcomed by our truffle dogs Trilli, Maya and Ludo, hard workers and also part of our family! We'll start the hunting from our truffle farm and continue into the surrounding woods. Immersed in the nature of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (we are 1 hour drive from the amazing Parma Food Valley, 1 hour drive from La Spezia/Cinque Terre and 1:30 drive from Milan), our dogs will lead you to the truffles, which you'll dig out with your own hands. Depending on the season, we can find black summer truffles or fall truffles. The truffle hunting can last between an hour and an hour and a half (it will depend on how much we manage to find!) and will end with a lunch (or dinner) depending on the start time. You'll taste our truffles (the very fresh ones you'll find with the dogs) and our homemade truffle products, all freshly cooked by "chef" Laura :) It will be a one in a lifetime and unforgettable experience with locals, we promise! :) The perfect experience for dog lovers, hikers and foodies! It's also possible to arrange a pickup service from the railway station Solignano or Berceto upon request for max. 4 people. For more than 4 people please contact us. You need to take a train to Solignano (if you are travelling, for example, from Parma/Modena/Bologna central station) or to Berceto (if you are travelling from La Spezia or Cinque Terre). You can check train timetable from Parma to Solignano or Berceto. Pickup service is also possible from Parma City Centre at an extra cost. We are looking forward to meeting you! :)

An intimate journey into the Capital of Taste. Parma is a city of quiet elegance. We believe it’s best experienced in a personal setting, which is why we limit our groups to only 8 guests. This tiny group size allows us to step inside authentic workshops and hidden kitchens where larger groups simply cannot fit. Our morning together: Behind the scenes: gain rare access to production labs and kitchens usually closed to the public to see the craftsmanship behind the flavors first-hand. The icons: savor authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, melt-in-your-mouth Prosciutto di Parma, and the rare Culatello di Zibello—the true "King" of Italian cured meats. Local connection: meet the producers keeping traditions alive and hear the secret legends of medieval alleys at a relaxed pace that makes you feel like a friend, not a tourist. Discover the soul of Parma, one bite at a time. Bring your appetite—we'll take care of the rest.
