Truffle Hunting

Nowadays you can witness yourself that the search for truffles is a demanding work but at the same time it is a great fun, especially when a workday is finished with pockets filled with truffles

As a part of promoting Istrian truffles, Zigante family offers guided truffle searches. Group searches (up to thirty persons) in the Motovun forest, only one mile away from world famous restaurant Zigante, are led by experienced truffle hunters with specially trained tracking dogs. During one hour visitors are instructed about the basics of truffle hunting and the procedure of searching for truffles, and the truffle hunters sometimes reveal some of the secret locations abundant with truffles.

From mid-September till the end of the year it is possible to participate in the search for white Istriantruffles since that period is their harvest season. As opposed to guided truffle searches, the search for the white truffle is organized in smaller groups and lasts approximately 3 hours. The happy finders can keep all their truffles or enjoy in their intensive fresh aroma in a frittata dish or in a pasta prepared in the restaurant Zigante.

For the duration of the fair Zigante Truffle Days, a tourist train is driving on the truffle path and taking tourists to the forest while the guide gives them more detailed information about the tradition of truffle hunting in Istria.

Since the demonstrations are held in the woods and valleys, it is recommended to bring along adequate footwear and clothes (boots and long trousers are recommended), and other useful items (such as mosquito repellent).
