Join a Mountain Truffle Adventure

The Western Buffalo Truffle Hunt Experience

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Buffalo, this is not just a tour — it’s an immersion into one of Australia’s most picturesque truffières.

Guided by our expert team, you’ll step into a pristine alpine landscape where fresh mountain air, rolling countryside and the quiet rhythm of nature set the scene for something truly special. This is where truffles grow — hidden beneath the earth, waiting to be discovered.

Your experience begins with an introduction to the art and science of truffle hunting. You’ll learn how to identify when truffles are perfectly ripe and ready for harvest, understanding the subtle signals of the land and the environment that produces them.

Then, the hunt begins.

Working alongside trained dogs, you’ll be guided to the source and given the opportunity to get hands-on — carefully and delicately unearthing these prized culinary treasures yourself. It’s a rare moment of connection to the land, where discovery, patience and precision come together.

Following the hunt, you’ll be taken through the fundamentals of truffle grading — learning how to assess quality through aroma (the “nose”), shape and texture. You’ll come to understand what defines a truly exceptional truffle and why each one is unique.

To complete the experience, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase the truffles you’ve discovered — taking home a true paddock-to-plate story, harvested by your own hands.

Set within a landscape that is as unforgettable as the experience itself, Western Buffalo Truffles offers more than a truffle hunt.

It’s a chance to reconnect with nature, to learn something rare, and to share in the simple, powerful moments that bring people together.

Because at its heart, this isn’t just about truffles.

It’s about the experience you take with you.
