Then, partake in a homemade four-course lunch served in the hunter’s farmhouse, in a rustic but authentic setting. Savor traditional recipes and local products with freshly shaved black truffles and local wines. Bring back great memories of this day trip Truffle Hunt from Turin with Lunch as our driver takes you back to the city.
Martina was great! Our driver was well appointed and on time. For lunch they served mixed tapas with truffle condiments and truffle cheese, roasted peppers with the garlic sauce, fried egg with black truffle freshly shaved, homemade noodles with butter and fresh truffle, and a chocolate dessert. Recommended.
