We will be in Rovinj for a few days this November and I'm intrigued with the idea of truffle hunting followed by a meal using said truffles. Anyody have recommendations for a good group to go with?

I don't, but Oprah does - https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/a65541843/oprah-essay-tina-turner-truffles/
But as she is talking about Italy, I can share that Zigante is probably the most famous purveyor of truffles in Istria - https://zigantetartufi.com/pages/truffle-hunting

We’re going to Croatia next month and booked a truffle hunt with https://miro-tartufi.com/en/truffle-hunting/, having read a story about them in our local paper last year. They’re even arranging transportation for us from Opatija since we won’t have a car. Will post afterwards with a review

Sybs- we spent half a day with Miro Tartufi in Motovun and can’t recommend more highly. Within 5 minutes of walking in woods his dogs started digging and within 20 minutes had found half dozen ping pong ball sized truffles. Back to his farmhouse for a spread of truffle snacks followed by truffled scrambled eggs topped with the freshly cleaned truffles we had just found. Dirt-to-table in under 2 hours! Lovely people and amazing setting at the foot of the walled city of Motovun.
