Along the beautiful clear blue waters of the Adriatic, the Istrian seaside towns of Rovinj, Bale, and Pula have breathtaking scenic views, historic treasures, relaxed culture and a vibrant sea life. Combining this fact along with a deep history to Northern Italian roots, Istria is home to incredible culinary dishes and drinks which rival Italian food and wine from the land and the sea. Once such culinary dish is the region’s local pasta, “Fuzi”. This penne-like pasta is often served with a slathering of fresh shaved white or black truffles (which of course, you will definitely experience)!

TRUFFLE WHISPERER

Meet the infamous “Truffle Whisperer” – Anita Zigante (on the left). I have had the privilege to hunt with her many times and on this occasion with my eldest daughter who recovered her first top-grade autumn black truffle. Time to celebrate!

My aunt is well-known in the Truffle Community as the leading expert in training pups to seek and find truffles – which also makes her one of the finest truffle hunters in the world. During our visit to Istria, you will have a private small group truffle hunt with Anita and her top truffle hunting dogs. You will finish your hunt with an unforgettable truffle tasting experience where I will personally see to it that you are given generous amounts of truffle shavings on one of my favourite dishes - truffles scrambled eggs. This will be an unforgettable
highlight of your trip.
