Going Truffle Hunting?

You will never know what a real thrill is until you go for some Truffle Hunting with us! Ok , you might be asking:

‘Will I really have to work? I’m here for vacation!’

and

‘How am I going to do this, I don’t know anything about truffles!’

FEAR NOT! Has Grecopaths ever let you down? (for those that haven’t met us yet, WELL COME HERE AT LAST!!).

We’ve got you covered in everything 😉

You don’t have to worry about anything! First of all, if you don’t know it yet, Truffles are often referred to as the ‘black gold’ of the culinary world, being prized for their distinctive aroma and depth of flavor. The truffle is an incredible ingredient that can really enhance a taste of a dish in pleasant ways that you cannot even imagine if you haven’t tried it yet. This, as well as the fact that it is very hard to come by, have made the truffle so expensive. The truffle cannot really be cultivated and it can only be extracted from the ground by specially trained dogs (or pigs, that unfortunately usually eat them before we can get them in our hands 🤣). Now I’m sure you understand that this is the perfect adventure for those who love both nature and fine dining.

…And no, you won’t really have to work.

So what will I have to do?

You will just have to tell Grecopaths that you would like to embark on this adventure! After that, we will take care of everything! We will pick the perfect spot, usually a nice peaceful forest and will take you there. There you will meet our seasoned truffle expert and you will embark on a fascinating trek through the forest. He has more than 20 years of experience, so you don’t have to be very anxious on the outcome; he knows what he’s doing!😉 He will also have his trained dog to lead the way, who will try to locate truffles hidden beneath the earth’s surface. As you walk, the guide will share insights into the delicate ecosystem that allows truffles to thrive and the traditional methods used for their harvest and will answer all your questions.

And this is just the beginning! After the successful Truffle Hunting, you will be treated to an unforgettable culinary experience. We will find a beautiful spot and we will prepare a fresh pasta dish there that will really showcase the truffles’ rich, earthy aroma and taste. All this will be also accompanied with top-quality Greek olive oil (believe me it’s the best!), tasty traditional Greek cheeses and of course… one or two well-selected rich wines, that will solidify all this taste, that you will never forget! 

It’s all about an amazing experience, then!

This adventure is not just about finding truffles—it’s about immersing yourself in a tradition that connecting people to nature and fine cuisine. Whether you’re a passionate foodie, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a distinctive experience, our Truffle Hunting offers something truly special.
