Always wanted to go on the hunt for the much sought-after black truffle? Vilanosporum Experiències invites you to a day spent looking for and savouring the delicacy.

 

Based in Villafranca del Cid, Vilanosporum Experiències offers an incredible foodie experience that will immerse you in the world of the black truffle. Accompanied by experts, you will find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the coveted fungi, from the traditions revolving around it to how it is found and the ingredients it is best paired with. 

The experience includes a special brunch and lunch that are lovingly prepared using locally sourced produce. These meals will give you the fuel you need to roam the countryside with Diana, an experienced truffle hunting dog who will help you find the black treasure. 

Your experience will start at Restaurante l’Escudella, where chef Emilio will serve you a delicious brunch starring black truffle and other perfectly married ingredients. All the produce used to prepare your meal is from the local area, giving you an authentic taste of Villafranca del Cid. 

Once you’ve got your strengths up, your guides, Oriol and Toni, will pick you up with Diana and the hunt for truffles will officially begin! As you start to explore the local land, the experts will explain how truffles grow and how to set about finding them. 

The walk is not difficult, but remember that the weather can often be unpredictable so be prepared for all eventualities and wear appropriate clothing and comfortable footwear. You may find truffles, you may not: this is something that not even the experts at Vilanosporum Experiéncies can guarantee. But what is sure is that you will be given a second opportunity to savour black truffle after the excursion. Back at Restaurante l’Escudella, you will sit down to a delicious lunch that shines the spotlight on the delicacy. 

So how about it? Sign yourself up for this incredible experience that revolves around black truffles and feel a deep connection with the local land. We look forward to seeing you there.
