The Truffle Farm is located at 844 Mole Creek Road, Needles TAS 7304 (corner of Askrigg Lane/Mole Creek Road). We recommend that you enter this whole address into either Apple or Google maps. Our farm is located 8mins South-West of Deloraine and you will find us on the right-hand side of the road, OR if you are driving from the opposite direction, we are located 12mins East of Mole Creek and our farm will be on the left-hand side of the road. You will also see our distinctive signage (The Truffle Farm) with the gold dog logo. Please drive down Askrigg Lane and follow the signs into the carpark area; we ask that you check in with staff at the Farmgate shop so that we know you have arrived for your tour.

We kindly ask all visitors to arrive on time, as we are an active working farm with a carefully planned schedule. Arriving late for your tour affects not only your experience but also the experience of others who have arrived punctually. To ensure fairness, please plan your journey to arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled tour time. This allows time to check in with staff, use the bathroom facilities, and enjoy a stroll through the gardens before your tour begins.

Please note that tours will commence on time, and we are unable to delay or repeat any missed sections due to late arrivals. Regretfully, visitors may receive a reduced offering in these circumstances.   We do understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and we will do our best to assist you where possible. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any accessibility requirements, please reach out to us before your tour so that we can assist you. We have many accommodations that can be implemented to make your visit an enjoyable experience. This may include guests who identify as neuro-diverse, guests with mobility requirements, or guests with dietary requirements.  Our complete Accessibility Guide is located here.

The weather in Tasmania can change often and quickly, sometimes with four seasons in one day.  We are an all-weather experience and it is recommended that visitors prepare for the outdoors and dress appropriately with flat, closed-in shoes that are comfortable to walk in. We have large umbrellas onsite just in case, but visitors are expected to take responsibility for dressing appropriately for the weather and for keeping warm.  Summer in Tasmania can be harsh, so please remember to bring hats and wear sunscreen.  Visitors will be required to put disposable shoe coverings over their shoes whilst in the plantation for biosecurity reasons, and these fit best over closed shoes. 

Strict biosecurity protocols are in place on the farm and visitors will be required to wear disposable shoe coverings whilst in the Trufferie, during the hunting process.  These disposable coverings are best suited to flat, closed-in shoes.

Our full cancellation and rescheduling policy is available on our website. In summary: Guests are welcome to reschedule their tour up to 24 hours prior to the original scheduled tour time.  A new confirmation email will be sent to guests to advise of any updates. Guests are welcome to cancel their tour up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled tour time; guests will receive a full refund of the booking costs in this circumstance, and refunds will be processed via the same method in which guests paid for the booking. Unfortunately, should guests fail to provide cancellation notice to us within 24 hours prior to the scheduled tour time, guests will not be offered a full refund, and 50% of the booking fee will be kept as a payment to cover pre-arranged catering and staff costs. In the event of a no-show, we regret that no refund will be offered to guests. We agree, in good faith, to hold places for our guests through the booking process.  Should any guest fail to show up for a tour due to their error, mistake or omission, then no refund will be offered.  We often have an active guest waitlist who would be happy to take your place should they be given the opportunity to do so. By not advising us, or communicating your intentions, you prevent us from offering your place to others and covering our pre-arranged catering and staff costs. *As a small business we appreciate your understanding with these terms.

Please note that our friendly dogs are a vital and essential part of both our operation and the tour experience. 

They will roam freely (off-lead) for the duration of the tour.
Our dogs are specially trained to perform an important role on the farm and are very accustomed to being around visitors. 

While they may be excited to greet guests on arrival, they will settle and rest peacefully around the tour shed before and after the hunting component of the experience. 
As the dogs form an integral part of the tour and cannot be removed from the experience, please ensure that you and any accompanying guests are comfortable being around friendly, off-lead working dogs prior to your visit.

Our menu is 100% vegetarian. We can cater for a range of dietary requirements, including gluten free, dairy free and vegan, with a minimum of 24 hours' notice.

If you have forgotten to advise us of a dietary requirement, please contact us as soon as possible at hello@thetrufflefarmtasmania.com.au. We will do our best to assist, however we cannot guarantee that dietary requests received with less than 24 hours' notice can be accommodated.

Our refreshments include a selection of Tasmanian wines and beers, as well as non-alcoholic beverages.

After your truffle tour, you can purchase our products and fresh truffle (in season) at the Tour Shed. Alternatively, you can visit our Farmgate Shop, located onsite at 844 Mole Creek Rd, Needles, and open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm (10:00am to 3:00pm during winter/spring).

At the Farmgate Shop, visitors can learn about truffles, sample and purchase our gourmet truffle products, browse Truffle Farm merchandise and enjoy our decadent fresh truffle ice cream.

The health and safety of our guests and team is important to us. If you are unwell or experiencing flu-like symptoms, please do not attend your tour.

If you become unwell on the day of your scheduled experience, please contact us as soon as possible on 0437 849 283 to discuss your booking.

Our tours operate throughout the year. During our truffle harvest season, usually December to September, we hunt for mature truffles with our dogs.

Truffles are a natural seasonal product, so the number of truffles we find on any tour cannot be guaranteed. Where possible, we endeavour to give a member of each booking party the opportunity to dig up a truffle, however this also cannot be guaranteed.

Our TrailGraze Mini Tour is an observational truffle hunting experience. Due to the shorter duration of this tour, guest involvement in digging for truffles is not included.

Seasonal conditions can affect when truffles mature and may sometimes delay the start of our summer or winter harvest.

We invite you to read our Truffle Expectations before your visit for more information about what to expect from your truffle hunt.

During October and November, we offer our Out of Season experience. You can find more information about this here.

As part of your booking, you may receive important operational information and updates by email, SMS, phone or WhatsApp. You must ensure the email address provided with your booking is correct and check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder, before your visit. Important information or changes relating to your tour may be sent to this email address.
