TESTIMONIALS
Fabulous experience with lunch – My wife and I did the truffle hunt and lunch with Mihael, and it was fabulous! He met us at the designated parking location which was easy to find, and… See full review he drove us to our hunting location. We walked all through the fields and woods and had a great time watching two of his dogs work. We found some truffles and that was exciting. Then we went to his home where his mother prepared an absolutely amazing lunch. We had several courses all topped with shaved truffles (both black and white), homemade grapa, wine and an elderberry lemonade which was refreshing after the walk. I highly recommend using Mihael for your truffle hunting adventures. He is delightful, and we learned a lot about what he does and how he works all year. He made our visit to Motovun something we will always remember!

I HIGHLY recommend this experience! – What an amazing experience with Mihael Svilicic and his dogs, Mina and Roxie! We enjoyed exploring the forest along the Mirna River below Motovun and learning about the truffle hunting… See full review process. Mihael’s excitement when Mino discovered a 77 gm white truffle was real! Mihael’s delightful mother, Lorena, fixed a delicious 4-course truffled lunch including grappa and wine that our group of 8 enjoyed on the lovely terrace of their home in Motovun! An added bonus was free locals parking for the day/evening! I HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

ABOUT
Rooted in family tradition
Some time ago in the mid-twentieth century, a teacher from the southern part of Croatia (Dalmatia) moved to Motovun. His name was Miho Sviličić. His love for dogs, gastronomy, and nature was passed on to his son Davor. The love for the white and black truffle enveloped Davor from his childhoood through adulthood. Soon enough, his wife and three sons accepted it as a way of life, and they share his passion to this day. At the moment, there are three dogs ready to show you what truffle hunting is all about. We also offer a unique gastronomy tasting adventure and various truffle products. We invite you to join us and experience truffle hunting first hand.
