We booked a private truffle hunting tour in September 2020 through one of our friends who is a chef in Croatia. Having been on another truffle hunting experience in Istria earlier in the month we didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the differences in experience and how professional this one was. When we arrived Daniela helped us change into rain boots so we didn’t ruin our shoes on the hike through the forest since it was muddy and had just rained. We started early in the morning at 8 am and walked for about an hour throughout a beautiful natural forest that was sprinkled with hidden truffles throughout. We found a few white and black truffles and then went back to the tasting room to sample some of the truffle spreads, chips, chocolate, and beer. Finally we ended with truffle eggs and wine. The tasting room was beautifully designed and incredibly professional with COVID protocols. We had a chance to purchase some products after. We really enjoyed speaking with Gabi as she prepared our eggs and Daniela was very helpful and informative. If you’re looking for one of the most high-end yet authentic truffle hunting experiences in Istria I would highly recommend this one!…

Istrian tastiest treasures, the truffle. Natura Tartufi, purveyors of local black truffles, served a tasting tray of black truffle canapés-truffle chips, 8 different truffle spreads, 3 cheeses with truffles, dark chocolate with truffles, and vanilla ice cream with truffles. The pièce de résistance was scrambled eggs with black truffle. The truffle beer was ok-not into beer. They had the truffle hunting dogs outside so we got to pet them before leaving.…

After seeing top chefs on television talking about and using truffles it was fabulous to experience fresh truffles in many different ways. The owner (a family business for nearly half a century) told us how the truffle is raised and how it is found. They use specially trained dogs to find the truffle. She explained the difference between the white and the black truffle. She talked about the different truffle products they have and then it was time for the tasting, Oh Boy. There was a under tray of truffle infused foods as you will see in the picture followed by truffles in scrambled eggs topped off with truffle ice cream. So so good. One of the ladies in our group was allergic to mushrooms and didn't want to eat to many so I had the pleasure of finishing her truffles. Truffles are expensive here in the States so I bought a small jar of white and a small jar of black truffles and black truffle olive oil. A wonderful experience…

We stopped in to pick up some truffle oil, being somewhat reticent to buy from the hawkers in the roadside markets. We found a very nice tasting room, on a hillside with a great view, and a wide selection of truffle products, all very handsomely packaged, as well as some tasteful souvenirs. They offer a variety of tastings and activities (including truffle hunting), but we had limited time, so we just tried the white and black truffle flavoured olive oils. Both were great. The staff were very informative, happy to answer questions, and very helpful. Many of the products would make great gifts (but of course be mindful of airline and import regulations on liquids and food products...). Was only sorry not to have more time to taste more!…

Visited as part of a small tour group. What an excellent experience - informative & educational talk about truffles & the training of truffle finding dogs. Followed by truffle beer, wine, cheeses, scrambled eggs with truffles & truffle ice cream. Opportunity to purchase truffle products at the end of the afternoon. Beautiful setting & attentive staff - this place is worth visiting. Come hungry !…
