Start with a scenic drive to Paladini, a small village hidden in inland Istria. Upon arrival at the estate, meet the Karlic Family who has been hunting for truffles for generations. Your friendly hosts will tell you all about truffles, the tradition of truffle hunting, and their truffle hunting dogs. Taste delicious truffle products all prepared by the family, including Istrian cheese, sausages, pate, honey and olive oil. The highlight of your tasting experience is a live interactive presentation of making famous Istrian "fritaja" scrambled eggs with truffles.
After tasting, your hosts will take you to a truffle hunt in their own woods where they grow and harvest black truffles. Both white and black truffles found in the area are considered to be among the best quality truffles in Istria. The thrill and excitement that you will experience together during the truffle hunting will have you understand why truffles are their love and their way of life.
