Overview
  1. Connection with nature
    The harvest allows you to immerse yourself in authentic landscapes, whether they are truffle woods or hills covered with olive trees. It is an opportunity to disconnect from the daily frenzy and reconnect with the natural world.
  2. Tradition and culture
    Both events are rooted in Italian history and traditions. You will discover methods passed down from generation to generation and you will learn about the strong bond between the territory and its typical products.
  3. Unique adventure
    Searching for truffles with trained dogs is an activity shrouded in mystery and fascination. Likewise, picking olives and watching them transform into olive oil is an educational experience that connects you to the production cycle.
  4. Food and Wine
    At the end of the day, you can taste directly what you have helped to find or collect: a grated truffle on a special plate, or a taste of freshly pressed oil. It is a complete sensory experience.

Activity itinerary

Find out how to find Umbrian truffles or actively participate in the olive harvest to produce your own native olive oil. Depending on the season. In Umbria, the seasons for truffle harvesting vary depending on the type. Here is a summary of the main periods: - Precious White Truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico): from October 1st to December 31st. - Precious Black Truffle (Tuber Melanosporum): from December 1st to March 15th. - Bianchetto or Marzuolo Truffle (Tuber Borchii): from January 15th to April 30th. - Black Summer Truffle or Scorzone (Tuber Aestivum): from May 20th to November 30th. Each truffle has its own specific period, and it is important to respect these seasons to preserve the natural balance and quality of the product. They are not found everywhere, they grow mainly along the Tiber River in northern Umbria The best time to harvest OLIVES is between the months of October and December, when the olives change colour and become red/purple.
