Gather your hat, coat, gloves, scarf and sturdy boots to experience the thrill of the hunt for truffles, led by our clever canine scent detectives Abbie and Holly who are sisters that just love to entertain.
Your visit includes a warm welcome from Abbie and Holly followed by a fire-side chat to hear all about the history of growing black truffles in Australia.
Decide whether you are joining the red team (led by Holly) or the blue team (led by Abbie) as the sibling rivalry kicks in!
Be inspired as your clever canine guides your team on an archaeological dig where you are welcome to gently unearth our prized black gold.
Which team will reign supreme with the biggest haul for the day?
See it, touch it, smell it and join us in our purpose-built truffle facility for a taste of truffles as you warm up in front of the cosy wood fire and awaken your senses to the earthy pleasure that is black truffle.
Your taste of truffles may include our delicious cauliflower soup finished with cream and freshly grated black truffle; warm, fresh crusty bread with truffle butter, and the piece de resistance (that’s French for ‘Best Bit’) is the yummy truffle-infused chocolate custard that follows.
WARNING: you may find truffles are addictive!
Bring your friends and loved ones to share this unique and fun-filled experience.
We provide Tips and Tricks for using fresh truffles at home and truffles will be available for sale!
