Karlić truffles - GIR Ltd.

We throughly enjoyed our private truffle hunting tour with Benjamin! A unique experience in a beautiful location! Benjamin was very warm and friendly as he spent time with us in the forest with his hunting dog ,Lela. I highly recommend booking the experience with the 3 course truffle meal that follows. So delicious and worth every penny! The view and venue is beautiful! The owners daughter was one of the chefs, and we loved speaking with her and meeting her hunting dog… the famous, “Bubica!”

Just wonderful. We had an amazing day. It was very educational. The hunt with the dogs so much fun. The food delicious the views breathtaking and the staff professional but authentic and full of warmth. Thanks you for this experience - worth every penny.

Our favorite experience during our visit to Croatia. Karlic tartufi lets you join a licensed truffle hunter and her dogs as they scour the local forest for these elusive (and valuable) treasures. It was fun watching the dogs hunt, as they get very excited about their work. And the cooperation of the truffle hunter and her canines is wonderful to see. Afterwards, we were treated to all kinds of truffle delicacies in a beautiful restaurant setting overlooking the Istrian hill country. We also spent time in their adorable shop hunting truffle treasures of our own. Book it. You won’t regret it.

Wow. I had THE BEST time here in July ‘24. I was expecting to carry around a basket while skipping around noisy pigs and hoped to pick up a few mushrooms and then imagined a flimsy table with a few plastic spoons and jars of truffle stuff to sample, pressure to buy stuff and then moving on with my day. And…. I would have been happy with that. The reality was: a friendly greeting, a brief (like 30-second drive) to the truffle orchard, a walk around with some sweet dogs while the local guide shared the history and their experience while suddenly running at high speeds to get a truffle from a dog, walking up a steep hill and then driving back to the main welcome area and entering a previously unnoticed, stunning dinning room where a lovely local woman fed us a charcuterie board with various truffles mixtures and fresh breads, wine, fruit, then an incredible truffle omelet, and then a type of doughnut ball with truffles.the view from the dining area is stunning, the space was so clean and friendly and relaxing. Everything I ate was insanely delicious. I felt like I was a very welcome and loved guest in a locals home. It was an unforgettable experience and I would love to go back someday!! If I’m ever in Croatia again or hear of anyone going, I’ll absolutely and highly recommend everyone visit this place!! I wish I was there RIGHT NOW!!!!

What an absolute experience. My ignorance as to the amount of work it takes to farm and ‘hunt’ truffles led me to underestimate this. We spent an hour with a hunter and his dogs hunting for truffles. The staff were so patient and happy to answer any questions we had. After a tricky but successful hunt, we had lunch which is included. Once you enter the restaurant, you can’t be mistaken of what you will be enjoying. First a platter of snacks are served and then they do a mains. The daughter cooks in-front of you and encourages engagement. They were amazing and the story telling was so familiar. They invited both my boys to join them in the prepping and cooking and it was an experience none of us will forget. If you ever consider doing something like this. DO IT! Thank you to the Karlič family for a day to remember.

We went to the 3 hour long truffelhunting experience and had a great time. We found a couple of truffles in the wood and learned a lot about truffles. The hunter was very calm and nice to the dogs. The food afterwards was delicious, and we could hang around whilst it was prepared. The store had a big selection of truffelproducts and more!

We enjoyed our white truffle hunting and tasting experience in October. Purchased several items we tasted during the meal at the store afterwards.

An unforgettable experience! The truffle hunting was a unique and exciting adventure, and the food prepared afterward was simply delicious. The environment is not only beautiful but also impeccably clean. There's even a small museum where you can learn more about truffles, adding an educational aspect to the visit. Highly recommend!
