An eating adventure combined with outdoor activity, a truffle hunt at Red Hill Truffles is perfect for explorers searching for an outing with a difference. Just an hour from Melbourne, here’s your opportunity to discover delicious truffles.
Hailed as the diamond of gastronomy, chefs, farmers and curious truffle-lovers alike remember their first truffle encounter, experiencing the intoxicating earthy aroma of the fungus newly removed from the ground, savouring its mouthwatering umami flavour.
Truffles are there for the harvesting at Red Hill Truffles, the challenge of finding them adding to their appeal. Gorgeous keen-nosed English springer spaniels are on hand to aid the challenge, guiding winter and summer hunts through the spectacular truffière, where participants will learn how truffles are cultivated. The venue’s hosts are excited for visitors to sample freshly harvested truffles uncovered in the hunt, to enjoy them served with wood-fired pizzas, cheeses and even delicious desserts.
For those wanting to continue their exploration of the truffle taste at home, a range of products is available, including truffle butter, truffle and mushroom paste, truffle honey, truffle aioli, truffle mustard and truffle salt.
Widely held as exclusive, truffles are accessible to everyone at Red Hill Truffles, with experiences and products to excite all appetites.
