Let’s take a walk across the woods and stay in close contact with nature while looking for delicious mushrooms. It will be a moment of freedom and excitement. Going to the mountains has never been so "delicious." Just the smell of mushrooms will remind you of some of our delicious local dishes.
Val di Pejo offers a variety of mushrooms. Porcini mushrooms and chanterelles are just few of the species present in the area; now it's up to you to get permission, take the wicker basket and have a walk across woods. Enjoy finding them and obviously tasting them!
