Ciao, I’m Alessandro, the owner of Siena Tartufi. I’m a truffle hunter from 25 years. I have 3 dogs, Moka and Freddie a Lagotto Romagnolo and Pepita, a black Labrador. I really love going outside with my dogs looking for truffles . In every season there are different types of truffle that will be collected and you can do it with us... My hobby is my job and my passion!

If you’re into food or the outdoors, or both, you can’t miss this! Alessandro is so warm and friendly and his dogs are sweet, playful and extremely talented. Mocha is a sweet girl with a serious work ethic, she found both black and white truffles super fast and was a delight to watch work. The tasting afterwards at the shop was delicious and the lady running it for us was hilarious and a local explaining many cultural events and traditions to us in depth. We would highly recommend going, but be sure to wear shoes you can get wet or muddy that have good grips!
Amazing Experience!

In our world, and maybe the world, truﬄes are a form of actual biological magic. To have the opportunity to walk through the woods near Siena, with Alessandro and Freddy his truﬄe dog, was something dreams are made of. Laughing and learning, kind and so knowledgeable, in a unique and natural place, was something I will always treasure. Highest recommendation. We loved this adventure… xo

It was such a pleasure to learn from, listen to and ask questions to Alessandro and his assistants! My fiancé and I love truffles but didn’t know all the specific facts about how they grow and where, it was very neat! It’s very close to downtown Siena and the truffle shop is right in the heart of Siena!! We loved everything we tasted and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would 100% recommend especially to get away from crowds for a little bit. Also, Mocha was adorable and would barely let Alessandro speak before she found another one. Thank you again!!

Alex did an amazing job showing us how it is done. He is so knowledgeable and passionate which made the experience so much fun. His dog Moca was the real star of the day. I have a much greater appreciation for truffles and can see why they are expensive.
Fun family activity

We had a lovely morning hunting truffles with Moka and Alessandro. It was a fun activity to do with our kids who range in age from 9 to 19. it’s a very nice complement to other sightseeing that is done in the Siena area. My only suggestion is to bring bug spray. We are from Colorado and sometimes forget that there will be some mosquitos.
A great way to learn about Siena

A great experience in Siena. Allejandro and Mocha were wonderful and the truffle hunting in the city was fun. Sara in the square was amazing and taught us all about the Paleo. This experience made us fall in love with Siena!

We had an amazing truffle hunt with Alessandro and Mocha. It was a very short time in the car before we were in the woods hunting truffles. Alessandro is a master at his craft and educated us a great deal before and during the hunt on what to look for. Mocha knew her assignment and is an elite truffle hunting dog. We found over 15 truffles in a little over an hour. Afterwards we went back to Alessandro’s shop to taste over 10 snacks paired with truffle products that Alessandro sells and paired with Prosecco. Sara was Alessandro’s employee that served us and educated us on the products. She is a die hard Senese and has a lot of passion for her city and her job. This is one experience I would love to do again and I can honestly say this is a can’t miss experience. You will be more than happy.
Best day ever!
