Truffles & Traditions In Bologna™

Truffle Hunt & Michelin Star Chef’s Wine Dinner ~ 1 Day

 

Join us for an authentic truffle hunt with our truffle dog and hunter in the countryside followed by a  Michelin Star Wine Dinner.  Lace up your walking shoes as you follow our expert truffle hunter and trusted dog as they sniff out prized black and white truffles.  Discover how truffles grow and the many varieties there are in the forest.  Following your truffle hunt, enjoy a traditional full course Michelin Star Chef’s Tasting menu featuring fresh tortellini, or tagliatelle, lasagne and the perfect Bolognese sauce, roasted rabbit, chicken or veal and delicious desserts paired with exquisite wine from Emilia Romagna!  This experience includes a truffle hunt, full course Michelin Star Tasting Menu with a wine pairing and transfers to and from Bologna.

Experience the Chef’s Tasting Menu and discover how this Michelin Star chef transforms natural farm-to-table products into delicious antipasto, fresh pasta and sauce, main courses and desserts.  Bologna, home of the Slow Food movement, is called, the Fat City thanks to its healthy hearty cooking style.  Enjoy tortellini, tagliatelle, lasagne and Bolognese sauce, main courses along with artisan breads such as tigelle and piadina.  Desserts are delicious with fresh baked chestnut tortellini, pumpkin semi-freddo drizzled with aged balsamico, and pinza, a local cake stuffed with figs, almonds and hazelnuts.  Wine pairing included.
