What you can expect

Nestled in the picturesque Alta Valle del Tevere in Umbria, this immersive truffle experience offers visitors a deep dive into the history, craft, and flavors of one of Italy's most prized culinary treasures. The journey begins at the truffle estate, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by experts dedicated to preserving and sharing the magic of the truffle.

With roots dating back to 1990, this family-run estate was founded by Saverio Bianconi and his wife, whose passion for the truffle and dedication to their homeland brought the dream of promoting this delicacy to life.
During the visit, you’ll learn how the estate has grown while staying true to its artisanal values, combining tradition and innovation to preserve truffles at their peak freshness. The estate employs techniques like freezing and drying without additives, ensuring the truffle’s intense aroma and natural flavors remain intact year-round.

Your experience includes a guided visit to the “Piccolo Museo del Tartufo,” a small but fascinating museum created in 2002 by the owner. The museum houses an extraordinary collection of truffle-related artifacts, books, and curiosities.
At the heart of its creation was a 16th-century herbal book that inspired the museum’s founder to share the rich cultural heritage of truffles. The displays tell the story of truffles as both a culinary gem and a mysterious treasure of the earth, giving you a deeper appreciation of this beloved ingredient and its deep ties to the Umbrian region.

After exploring the museum, the highlight of the experience awaits—a curated truffle tasting session. You'll savor an array of artisanal truffle products, from a variety of rich, handcrafted sauces to pecorino cheese drizzled with truffle-infused honey. While enjoying these delicacies, you’ll also sip on a glass of white wine or sparkling wine, pairing the earthy and savory flavors of truffles with the crisp elegance of local wines. For those with dietary restrictions, alternative options will be available to ensure that everyone can fully enjoy the experience.

Whether you're a seasoned foodie or simply curious about the secrets of the truffle world, this experience promises to be an enriching and memorable journey into one of Italy’s most cherished culinary legacies.
