Located in the heart of Umbria, just outside the historic town of Assisi, Tili Vini Società Agricola offers an immersive and hands-on truffle hunting experience that stands apart in Italy’s rich outdoor scene. Situated at Via della Cannella, 21, this agriturismo combines the thrill of foraging with authentic regional flavors in an area renowned for its ancient woodlands and fertile soil. The activity begins on the grounds of Tili Vini’s organic vineyard, where you’ll meet your truffle expert and their specially trained dog. Together, you’ll venture into shady forests that carpet the gentle Umbrian hills, scanning beneath oak, hazelnut, and beech trees for the prized black truffle, often called the "black diamond" of the region.
This unique venture is as much a lesson in natural history as it is an outdoor adventure. The soils and specific tree roots create ideal conditions for both summer and winter truffle varieties, giving you a deep connection to the landscape’s seasonal rhythms. Along the hunt, you’ll learn to identify different truffle species, understand their ecological role, and witness firsthand the symbiotic relationship that sustains them.
After about an hour to an hour and a half in the woods, the group returns to Tili Vini’s cellar for a private tour of the winery, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The four-course organic Umbrian lunch emphasizes fresh, local ingredients, each dish enhanced by the freshly gathered truffle and paired with five select organic wines, including Assisi DOC and Umbria IGT varieties. This celebration of terroir is a standout experience, blending outdoor discovery with culinary artistry in a setting steeped in tradition.
For travelers who appreciate a blend of nature’s hidden gems, history, and slow food culture, Tili Vini presents an authentic gateway into Umbria’s outdoor heritage. Whether you’re a seasoned forager or simply curious, their truffle hunts are a rare chance to connect with a living landscape and taste its bounty in one seamless adventure.
