Description

Meet at Al Habtoor Palace Budapest, Erzsébet tér 9-10, 1051 Budapest. Look for the white “Experiences by George” bag and the guide with a distinctive beard. After a brief welcome and introduction, travel by van or minibus for 40-50 minutes to a well-preserved 17th-century watermill.

Before entering the forest, receive a 10-15 minute briefing on forest etiquette and safety, including how the truffle dogs work, where to walk or stand, when to remain quiet, and how to avoid masking scents. Then join a local truffle hunter and trained dogs for an authentic black-truffle search near the mill.

Following the hunt, enjoy a gourmet tasting of classic foie gras “nature,” foie gras with black truffle and Tokaji Aszú, and truffle butter topped with fresh truffle, paired with additional sparkling wine.

A short 10-minute scenic drive takes you to Etyek for a winemaker-led tasting of 4-5 local wines at a family presshouse. Learn about their story, explore the cellar, and sample snacks to complement the wines.

The experience concludes with a traditional Hungarian lunch at one of Etyek’s oldest wineries, paired with 3-4 of their own wines.

A minimum of 3 guests is required for this tour. If not reached, an alternative date, experience, or full refund will be offered.
