The hunt is seasonal, you need to be used to walking in the woods, and transport is a separate tier. 4.85 from 33 reviews at €160 per person for 2h 30m. ## Overview Embark on a truffle hunting adventure with an Italian Tartufaro and the dog. Discover the land of Valpolicella and join the scorzone Truffle hunt. The Tartufaro will guide you in the hunt of this black diamond of the kitchen in the woods and lands surrounding an old Winery in Verona.
