In Istria, every self-respecting truffle search begins with a welcome drink of homemade brandy. After that, everything goes smoothly: from a delicious truffle-based dish in a hall with a magical view of the forest to soft fritters with a truffle and champagne cream. While you taste the local specialities with Malvasia and Teran, the hosts will introduce you to the tradition of hunting this greatest Istrian treasure, and after that, a guide and two truffle dogs will take you to the forest to experience it for yourself. The rest of the story is experienced live.
