Family Truffle Hunt

Overview

One of the best ways to discover the fascination of the black perigord truffle is to join a truffle hunt and this hunt is perfect for families, kids just love it!

Situated 8km from the village of Bredbo, Macenmist Black Truffles and Wines offers you the chance to explore the hidden delights of the Perigord black truffle. Come and join the team at Macenmist where you will be able to experience something exciting and unique. Frosty winter mornings herald the ripening of the underground truffles and visitors are encouraged to rug-up and venture out with the truffle dogs as they hunt for the elusive black gold.

You’ll be joining the truffle hunt, following truffle dogs Tawdiffu and SongLu in the search for Perigord black truffles grown on the farm. After smelling the aroma that permeates the soil, if ripe, the truffle is harvested in true archaeological style.

Then after collecting truffle, you’ll head back to the ‘function centre’ to enjoy more truffle facts and a warm drink. It’s at this time you will be able to purchase truffle produce if available.
