After the hunting the cooking lesson will begin with a small tour of our vineyard and our olive grove, after which a member of the family will provide some notions and curiosities about the truffle. Then, you will learn how to
treat truffles, clean them, and cook them in our kitchen. At the end of the lesson, you will taste all the dishes you cooked, and you'll have the chance to taste our wines and extra virgin olive oils. It's required
