Join the Karlić family on a truffle hunt with their adorable dogs (one of which has become a famous TV star!). Then participate in the preparation of authentic local delicacies with the hosts in the idyllic setting of the village of Paladini. Gourmet delights, gorgeous nature and a local truffle-harvesting team, what else could you wish for in Istria?
