Custom Trip Design Process
Trufflepig trips are a work of art built from a basket of ingredients that include people, places, and things carefully gathered through extensive research and immersive local knowledge. Here, every journey starts with a blank slate that is gradually filled with a lively conversation and an abundance of ideas. The planning team meticulously orchestrates everything—from the big picture elements like structure, style, and pacing to the very tiny details such as restaurant reservations and special activities. Shortly before the trip, a detailed Trip Piglet is provided, containing every bit of information needed, down to quirky extras like a guide’s middle name or suggestions for biodynamic wineries. This creative and dynamic process ensures that every trip not only meets but exceeds expectations, leaving travelers eager to plan their next adventure once they return home.
