Wild herbs, greens, berries, and mushrooms — walking through Italian landscapes with someone who knows every plant.
Plan your Italy trip →Spring: Wild asparagus, ramps (aglio ursino), borage, chicory, nettles, wild fennel, elderflower. Summer: Wild berries (blackberries, elderberries), herbs (thyme, oregano, rosemary — they grow wild everywhere in southern Italy). Autumn: Mushrooms (porcini, chanterelles, ovoli), chestnuts, hazelnuts, wild grapes. Winter: Truffles (see truffle hunting), wild radicchio, winter greens.
Tuscany/Umbria: Forest foraging for mushrooms and truffles. Liguria: Coastal herb foraging (the wild herbs that make pesto Genovese). Sicily: Wild greens and herbs in the Madonie mountains. Abruzzo: Mushroom and herb foraging in national parks. Most experiences are led by guides with botanical knowledge who also cook — the foraged ingredients become lunch.
