About Truffle Hunting Near Umbria
Umbria is one of Italy’s true truffle regions — the hills around Norcia, Spoleto, Gubbio and the Valnerina yield black summer and prized winter truffles, and locals have hunted them for generations. If you want the idea of an Umbrian truffle hunt — a trained dog, a misty oak wood, a fresh truffle dug up and tasted — this is the right heartland.
There is one honest catch: Umbria’s truffle hunts have not yet built the volume of reviews that Alba and Tuscany have on the booking platforms. Rather than send you to a tour with almost no traveler feedback, we feature the nearest top-rated, fully-reviewed hunt you can book today — a dog-led truffle hunt with a tasting and pasta class just across the Tuscan border, an easy add-on to an Umbria trip. The alternatives below cover the closest highly-rated hunts in Tuscany and Piedmont.
Guest Reviews
What Travelers Say
"Family hosts we’re wonderful. Truffle hunting great fun. Cooking class and food excellent. A superb experience!"
"We spent a week in Tuscany and this was the highlight of our trip. We were a group of 11 (9 adults, 2 children). Gian Marco (truffle hunting guide) was great and Nico, Fabricio and Camilla were amazing hosts. They opened up their home to us and made us feel like part of the family. The whole experience - walk in the woods, pasta making, dinner - was incredible. Don't delay, book today!"
"The activities we did as well as the three course lunch were beyond exceptional! The host family was very knowledgeable and friendly and took good care of us throughout. We had lots of fun truffle hunting, making the pasta and even had the opportunity to taste the wine and olive oil made at by the family!! It was truly amazing value for money and I would recommend this to anybody without a second thought."
"It was an amazing experience. Great location, great activities, and great guides."

What to know about truffle hunting in and around Umbria before you book.
Yes — Umbria around Norcia, Spoleto and Gubbio is genuine truffle country with both black summer and prized winter truffles. The catch is that its bookable, well-reviewed online tours are still few, so the most reliable option today is the nearest top-rated hunt just over the Tuscan border.
We feature the nearest truffle hunt that is both bookable and has solid traveler reviews. Umbria's own hunts currently have very few reviews — rather than send you to an unverified tour, we point to a 5/5-rated hunt a short drive away in Tuscany, an easy add-on to an Umbria trip.
Black summer truffles run roughly May–August; the prized black winter truffle of Norcia peaks November–March. Hunts run year-round because there is always a truffle variety in season.
The featured hunt starts around the price shown above per person; most include a tasting, and many add a pasta cooking class or wine. Inclusions are listed on each tour.
Most run 2–4 hours — a guided walk behind a trained dog, then a tasting. Versions with a cooking class or lunch run longer.
Yes — hunts are gentle walks and very hands-on, which kids tend to love. No experience needed; the dog does the finding.
1–2 weeks in peak season. Free cancellation on most tours makes booking early low-risk.
