Loved this experience! I went with 4 friends and we all had a blast learning about truffles, watching Willow hunt them down, then taking turns digging them out for ourselves. Highly recommend.

Took my dog loving, foodie partner for his birthday and it was great fun! It was very interesting learning all about truffles and how they grow but we also loved watching beautiful Willow sniff them out! She is so clever. We each got to dig up a truffle and guess how much they weigh. Great to chat to + more

A well informed and enjoyable experience. Learned a lot about the cycle of growing and harvesting truffles and had fun digging one out and getting to purchase it. The tasting at Hairy Dog cafe was delicious too.

Loved it. Very informative. Nice and casual hunt (with very patient staff who waited for us to locate a hard to find truffle) and the hot lunch at the end was very much appreciated

Willow and her owners Nathan & Erin, provide a fantastic insight into the growing of truffles. The hunt part was informative and hands on, with each participant being able to have a go at digging for a truffle. There is no pressure to buy the truffle you dig, and there is the option to buy smaller ones + more

Best of furry friends and fungi. I expected to be hunting truffles deep in the forest and getting all muddy.
