20th & 21st July

A Winter Weekend of Celebration

Our famous Truffle Hunt & Lunch is back, and this time we have 2 sessions to choose from:
10am and 12.30pm on Sunday 21st July !

The day starts with an interactive truffle hunt with the Mornington Peninsula’s first truffle producer and founder of Red Hill Truffles, Jenny McAuley, at her stunning farm in Red Hill. Jenny’s expert knowledge of truffles, fungi and the peninsula, coupled with her engaging storytelling, build on the ancient mystique of truffle hunting in preparation for an exhilarating hunt. Get your hands dirty with Jenny and her truffle hunting dogs Thomas and Maddie, as the dogs put their well-honed skills to work finding truffles, which you can uncover, digging carefully to reveal the well-hidden fungi and release its aroma.

After the thrill of the hunt, it’s time to head to The Restaurant at Montalto for a 5-course truffle-inspired lunch where the winter truffles you’ve unearthed on your hunt will be freshly shaven over each spectacular dish.
