THE EXPERIENCE
The truffle hunting
The truffle hunter and the truffle dogs are waiting for us! The moment we meet the truffle hunting begins. We discover the first truffle, the second, the third… The dogs are unstoppable, and we don’t lose them from our sight. After a while, they stop. They have shown us their skills and enjoy the caresses and rewards from us.
Mushroom product tasting
After the truffle hunting, the delicious pleasures begin. Various types of mushrooms, from the products of the Museum, are waiting for us. In the shade of centuries-old trees, we taste their flavours while the bottles of wine open and our palate experiences unique moments.
The truffle pasta dish
Chefs take the baton! One or more of the Museum’s chefs start the truffle pasta cooking. An innovative pan that can fill 50 dishes is used. They will cook a super delicious truffle pasta dish with some wild mushrooms too. During the cooking process, they reveal the secrets of the truffle. Truffle pasta is served and a tasting paradise is unveiled!

After lunch, we return to the Museum. We are tour guided around with an emphasis on mushrooms and especially on their nutritional and therapeutic value. The surprise however that awaits us, is the Museum’s shop, where we will find about 70 different mushroom products that the Museum has created. Their exceptional package along with their high quality make them an ideal gift for our favourite ones!
