27 June, Millgrove Truffle Hunt and Afternoon Tea
June 27, 2021 from 1:30 pm until 4:00 pm
| A$60 – A$120Join us on the afternoon of June 27 for a unique truffle hunt set amongst the towering Karri trees of our beautiful Southern Forests property in Manjimup, WA. Follow the delectable Solly – truffle dog extraordinaire – as his trained nose homes in on the indescribable aroma emanating from black truffles buried beneath Millgrove’s oak and hazelnut truffière. Harvest, hold and inhale a Millgrove ‘star of winter’ and then head up the hill to a fireside cup of billy tea and enjoy a truffle-infused gourmet cheese toastie while learning about the science, history and ongoing mystery of truffles from science communicator Dr Janet Paterson. Each truffle hunt experience lasts for a generous two and a half hours and will be sure to fill you full of truffle insights and sensory delights. Book early to avoid disappointment – we look forward to seeing you soon.
What to expect:
- Learn the science
- Discover the mystery
- Sensory experience
- Rustic fireside high tea in our unique Karri forest/truffle orchard setting
What to wear: Be prepared for the weather, the average winter temperature in Manjimup is 15º/7 º and we have around 15-17 days of rain each month. Although the orchard and much of our property is accessible, there is some uneven ground, please wear comfortable shoes.
Food & Drink: After the hunt and sensory experience exploring the virtues of truffles, we’ll serve a cup of billy tea and a truffle-infused gourmet cheese toastie. Please note any dietary requirements in the notes section at the checkout and we’ll make every attempt to accommodate your needs.
