The drive up to Pettino, the small town where we started our adventure, was incredible. I was blown away by the magnificent views of the Umbrian valley where I could see Montefalco, Spoleto and other well-known towns in the region as we drove up the narrow roads to the town. Pettino is about 1400m above sea level and is made... More

I had to plan something for my husband's birthday, and we'd already seen many of the sights, and been to great restaurants, so I scoured the web and found this. I thought it might be a bit contrived but I decided to give it a go and am so glad I did! It was a wonderful experience, from start to... More

we made a phone call to Mac the Kiwi artist who has married into a traditional sheep herder’s family that still walk the sheep to summer grazing over the Umbrian Hills. The information is passed on about a day trip over the hills behind Trevi which starts with truffle hunting and ends with pasta making and traditional food tastings. The... More

In October of 2013 my husband and I spent a truly unique and magical day with Wild Foods Gastronomical Adventures. The itinerary started with a beyond scenic trip atop mountains to hunt for black truffles with a local hunter and his dogs. After finding two black truffles, we enjoyed stunning views and a breakfast of scrambled eggs with shaved truffle,... More

After reading the other reviews on TripAdvisor, I was so excited to spend the day truffle hunting, cooking and eating. Not a single moment was a disappointment! Mac picked us up, and gave us an engaging history of the family and the farm. After we arrived in Pettino, we began our truffle g adventure, which was sadly cut a bit... More

We spent a few days in Umbria with friends and this seemed a great idea. Mac picked us up from our apartment near Assissi but in hindsight we wouldn't have minded to drive to Pettino ourselves in our hired car. As three out of the four of us do not drink, this would have been a viable option especially if... More

This was a day I will never forget. Mac and Francesca were so welcoming and Mac provided us with a really interesting history of the family farm. It was great to see the traditional farming and cooking methods still being used and to be able to have a hand in them too! Neighbouring friends and family were all involved in... More

If you have a free day in Umbria a day spent with the Montefalco Mob is a must. We were a group of 12 who hired a mini bus from our Villa in Tuscany. It was a 2 hour drive to Montefalco and well worth the journey, Mac, Francesca and everyone in the family welcomed us with open arms and... More

Or family spent the day with Mac and Francesca and their extended family and friends in June. We had a perfect sunny day. We were picked up in Spello and drove way up into the mountains to their farm and home. We then went truffle hunting and had a picnic in the forest. Our kids 12 + 9 years old... More
