Istria Truffle Hunting Tour — Motovun & Hilltop Towns
Walk the Motovun forest with a truffle hunter and trained dogs, taste what you find, then explore Istria's hilltop towns — a private day from Zagreb with the hunt and tasting included.
Overview
The forest below Motovun is one of the few places in the world where both black and white truffles grow, and hunting them with dogs is a family trade here.
You join a local hunter and trained dogs for a walk through the woods, then sit down to a tasting of fresh truffle dishes with Istrian olive oil and wine.
In the afternoon we climb to Motovun for the views over the valley and stop in Hum, known as the smallest town in the world, before returning to Zagreb.
