I am a second-generation truffle hunter in my family who loves meeting new people and telling them everything about truffles.
My lovely dog and I are going to show you how truffle hunting looks like - well, she is going to show you how this looks like. I will tell you when and where truffles grow, which types of truffles we are able to find in Slovenian Istria, which are the basic conditions for their growth, when are we searching for truffles, how do we train a truffle hunting dog and much more!
After hearing so much about these delicious food, you will certainly want to eat some truffles as well, therefore a truffle-based meal will follow.
Book this unique experience with me and my dog. I guarantee you will not regret it.

5.00We had a very special experience together with Sara and her sweet dog Liza. From the first moment you can feel the passion and love that Sara puts into what she does. The activity takes place in a picturesque grove in Slovenia, where you have the opportunity to participate in first person in the search for truffles. Sara explains everything with great patience and competence: what is the truffle, how it grows, and above all the fundamental role of dogs in this fascinating tradition. It is not a simple demonstration, but a real practical and engaging experience. But it doesn't end there. After research, Sara welcomed us to her home for an amazing tasting. Being an expert in truffle processing, she made us taste delicious dishes, including a truffle pasta that we still remember with enthusiasm. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover an authentic Slovenia: made of nature, traditions, and above all genuine and passionate people. A memory that we will carry with us for a long time ❤️

5.00We went truffle hunting with Sara along with our three kids. We had such an amazing time. The kids loved the dogs, we learned about different types of truffles and Sara prepared the most amazing meal for us afterwards. We cannot recommend this enough. It was an experience we will never forget, and wish we could do again and again.
