Red Hill Truffles

We loved our guided truffle hunt @ Red Hill Truffles today. Fiona the truffle hunter & Maddy the truffle hound were a fabulous team working together to locate and identify ripe black winter truffles. Michael & Jen were charming informative hosts. We enjoyed a 3 course lunch featuring fresh truffle that we had harvested and washed! It was so delicious, informative and exciting. We loved our experience! We tasted and chose many delicious truffle edibles to bring home!

We have an absolutely marvelous time participating in the truffle hunt. Jenny, Mike and Janine are so hospitable, you feel like a member of the family. We exited their delightful property knowledgeable and sated following our hands on hunt and lunch. We chose to do the option with the pizza lunch on site - which was actually three amazing courses. Beautiful bread, truffle butter, honey and salt to start our tasting. Then a delicious winter soup with fresh shaved truffle followed by an amazing pizza bianco with potatoes, a mushroom and truffle duxelle and mild melting cheese topped by an absolute mound of fresh grated truffle (you do this bit yourself). And finally a hazelnut brownie with truffle ice cream (magnificent) and meringue. Plunger coffee to start and finish and a really delicious sparkling apple juice to have while you wash your truffles. We spent over an hour on the actual hunt with Maggie, Mike and Janine. Uncovering many beautiful specimens - large and small - all different aromas. We ended up buying one of the smaller ones to take home at a very reasonable price and enjoyed a very bougie breakfast the next day with shaved truffle on our morning eggs. Highly recommended and, all things considered, great value. We were a very large group (around 20), but they handled the numbers well and everyone got to dig one out, wash and enjoy the harvest.

What an amazing experience! Jenny and Mike along with Fiona and Janine have something SO special here at Red Hill truffle farm. An experience for all the senses. The hunt with Fiona and truffle dog Maddie and up coming Lizzy was fun. We located, smelt, dug, and washed the prize truffles then sat down to a culinary delight. Soup, wood fired pizza and a sensational dessert all with fresh truffle. I would highly recommend.Thank you Andrew and Mel.

A great morning learning about truffles from field to plate. Mike and his English Springer Spaniels and truffle-hunter Fiona gave us an excellent introduction into this fascinating fungal plant and how to prepare it, together with recipes! Highly recommended for families, foodies and dog-lovers alike.
