Discover the quiet ritual of truffle hunting in the forests of inland Istria. Guided by the Karlić family and their expertly trained dogs, this private experience reveals the heritage, instinct, and patience behind one of the world’s most prized ingredients.

Following a warm welcome and introduction to the tradition of truffle hunting, you will venture into centuries-old woodland before returning for a degustation of traditional dishes prepared before you, celebrating the depth and character of the truffle in its purest form.

Your experience has been thoughtfully curated to combine discovery, gastronomy, and authentic family tradition. It takes place at the Karlić family estate in the heart of Istria’s truffle region. After your forest adventure, you will return to the estate for a relaxed culinary presentation and tasting inspired by family recipes passed down through generations.
