2.Truffle hunting & cooking tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 257 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $130Top rated

In Paladini near Motovun, the Karlić family introduces you to Istrian truffle hunting with trained dogs, forest traditions, and a three-course meal. You’ll visit Croatia’s first truffle museum, walk through the Motovun forest, watch truffle dishes prepared, and sample local cheese, salami, honey, brandy, wine, chocolate, and truffles. The small group is limited to 12.

“The truffle hunting walk was very educational, the dogs managed to turn up three truffles. Afterwards the cooking portion was exceptional, the food was excellent and the chef cooks in the main area so you can observe and ask questions. We took our 16mo old and stroller, which was difficult at certain points of the walk. I would suggest a stroller that’s easy to fold up and carry through tough spots. All that said the restaurant had the nicest high chair I’ve ever seen and our toddler developed a frightening taste for truffle products haha”
