The up to two-hour tour begins with a walk to the truffière, accompanied by Indie, our young and enthusiastic truffle dog. Watch as she demonstrates her incredible ability to sniff out truffles, while we share insights into the art of growing and harvesting these culinary treasures. During June, July and August you’ll have the chance to unearth truffles fresh from the soil and learn how we determine their ripeness and quality. The experience concludes back at the house with a delicious tasting of both sweet and savoury truffle-infused treats, served with tea and coffee. To finish, a taste of our famous truffle ice-cream. Please dress warmly with suitable footwear for walking through paddocks, and bring wet weather gear if rain is forecast.
