Truffle Expectations
Truffle Hunting & Seasonal Availability
Truffles are a natural, seasonal product, and as such we cannot guarantee how many truffles will be found on any given tour.
For public scheduled tours, we will always do our best to ensure that at least one guest from each booking party has the opportunity to dig up (harvest) a truffle. However, this cannot be guaranteed. If time permits and truffles are plentiful, additional digging opportunities may be available.
Please keep this in mind when making your booking and setting your expectations for the day.
Truffles harvested during your tour are incorporated into the menu served to guests that day. However, if you would like to purchase the truffle you have harvested, you are welcome to do so at the current retail price.
Our summer truffle season usually begins in early December and continues through to late May, while our winter truffle season usually begins in early June and runs through to mid-September. As with all naturally grown products, these seasons are determined by Mother Nature, and we cannot guarantee the availability of fresh truffles throughout these periods.
Please note that our menu changes when fresh truffles are out of season or if the season starts later or finishes earlier than expected due to seasonal conditions.
Fresh truffle pizza is only available during the fresh truffle season and is not available on our Out-of-Season menu.
During these periods, our Out-of-Season menu features premium frozen Tasmanian truffle served in our delicious truffle toasted sandwiches.
