Description

Start your experience in the village of Praščari with the third generation of the Prodan family, daughter Višnja and son Mirko, who welcome you with a glass of homemade brandy made by their father.

Hear our story of a long-standing truffle tradition and life as a truffle family.

Meet all of our five expert truffle dogs. Our loyal furry companions will help to guide you as you embark on the hunt for truffles. Join us in our private woods, where we will look for this precious gift beneath the earth, checking multiple positions inherited as the best family secrets. You will patiently observe the dog searching and watch for any movement of its paws, hoping to find some truffles. The adrenaline and the feeling of finding your own truffle make for a once-in-a-lifetime memory to keep forever.

Indulge in an array of homemade truffle dishes, freshly prepared by the ladies of the Prodan family - mum and daughter. Enjoy stunning views of the medieval town of Buzet and the river Mirna valley, the natural habitat of truffles.

Meal details

As a starter, taste a selection of truffle-inspired treats, including homemade truffle spreads, truffle cheese, truffle jam, truffle salami, and our local olive oil with truffles.

As a main course, get ready for our signature dish - scrambled eggs with fresh truffles. Watch as we prepare this simple but mouthwatering dish traditionally made for many years in our city of Buzet. Fresh salad with our white truffle balsamic dressing will be served alongside eggs.

As a dessert comes a sweet finale with creamy vanilla ice cream drizzled with our flavourful white truffle honey.

Enjoy our homemade elderflower juice, water, and local white and red wines that are typical for Istria. Every sip will complement the rich, earthy flavour of the truffles.

The whole experience lasts about 2,5 hours.
