Treasures of the Earth
Check-in: Friday before lunch - Departure: Sunday after lunch
Designed to suit people who want to deepen their knowledge and use of an unusual typical product, truffles. A complete meal, comprising starter, first course, second course and dessert, will be prepared in each cooking class
With the collaboration of the ‘Associazione Tartufai Colline Sanminiatesi‘ we have been able to develop a programme which will indulge even the most passionate of truffle enthusiasts. This package includes an entire day dedicated to the famous tuber, in a breathtaking location. These courses are offered in September and October, for the prized white truffle, and March and April for the ‘marzuolo’, or ‘bianchetto’, variety and require a minimum number of participants.
