$220 pp includes a truffle hunt, sparkling wine on arrival and a 6 course degustation menu

Following the truffle hunt, indulge in the exquisite flavours of our truffle-influenced degustation meal. Savour the unique and earthy notes of these culinary gems, expertly incorporated into each course. Our farm-to-table philosophy ensures the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, creating a dining experience that harmonises with the seasonal essence of our truffle farm. Due to the size of our restaurant, truffle hunts will strictly start at the allocated time. Unfortunately if you turn up prior to the appointment, we will not be able to seat you.

We are not a dog-friendly venue. The presence of other dogs can distract and confuse our trained truffle dogs, who rely on their keen senses to locate truffles. Without their focused efforts, we would be unable to find any truffles, rendering our farm inoperable. Our dogs are essential to the success of the farm, and their ability to work without interruptions ensures a fruitful and enjoyable experience for all participants. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain an environment conducive to our dogs' important work.
