Begin your day with a departure from your Positano hotel for an exciting full-day tour. Enjoy a relaxing ride in a private minivan, taking in the picturesque views as you travel around Mt Vesuvius, ascend into the mountains of Partenio Regional Park, and descend through the Avellino valley, the capital of the Campania region.
Proceed to Monti Picentini Regional Park, arriving at the charming town of Volturara Irpina, nestled at the base of Mt Terminio. This area, surrounded by mountains reaching up to 6,562 feet (2,000 meters), is renowned for its Campania truffles.
Meet a skilled truffle hunter and his two Lagotto Romagnolos, a breed from Italy’s historic Romagna region, known for their keen senses and specialized truffle hunting skills.
Gather your gear and embark on a leisurely hike, ascending the mountain to approximately 4,593 feet (1,400 meters). The hike is accessible to all, though a reasonable level of fitness and sturdy walking shoes are recommended. Follow the hunter through the forest and observe the dogs as they expertly sniff out the elusive truffles hidden beneath the forest floor. Once a truffle is found, enjoy an immediate tasting of this delicacy paired with fresh ricotta cheese, perfectly complementing the truffle’s earthy, robust flavor.
The tour includes about three hours of hiking in search of truffles. Take breaks to admire and photograph the stunning scenery, and learn about Italy’s rich history, traditions, and truffle hunting techniques. After descending the mountain, reunite with your driver and head to a nearby restaurant for a delightful 3-course lunch. Each dish features local Campania ingredients, enhanced by the rich, intricate flavors of local truffles. Enjoy your meal with Italian wine, followed by a rich coffee and a digestif, such as grappa or amaro.
Conclude your day with a relaxing journey back to Positano, ending with a convenient hotel drop-off.
