Umbria is famous for good food and for the many products produced locally; undoubtedly one of the most famous of these is the truffle. The truffle grows almost all year round and can either be the black truffle or, the most prized of all, the white truffle. There is nothing quite so memorable as the pairing of pasta or local meats with truffle.

The hunt will conclude with a light lunch based on your freshly harvested truffles!
