In two hours we had a relaxing and exciting walk through the forest, following the dogs’ noses, and they found a lot of truffles. The guide was also kind enough to wait for our group when we arrived 15 minutes late. Overall, a very enjoyable and unique activity!!!

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.
