AN AUTHENTIC
TRUFFLE HUNTING EXPERIENCE
The Red Hill Truffles team is excited to host summer and winter truffle hunts in 2024, including our own truffle menu and dining options with our restaurant partners.
Our truffle seaons are a smorgasbord of hunts (public & private), tasting plates, brunches, restaurant lunches & dinners, fresh truffles and truffle products to enjoy at home. Unique Mornington Peninsula winter hunt experiences include Jenny McAuley’s introduction to the world of truffles, including their introduction to Australia. Guided hunts in the truffiere are led by skilled truffle hunter Maddie, an English Springer Spaniel, & our favourite (and famous) “food nerd” Fiona Hammond.
Fiona’s passion for seasonal, local produce, (as captured in her most recent book Gather Mornington Peninsula) extends to truffles - from hunting through to serving dishes perfect for savouring these very special fungi.
As part of a hunt, guests can harvest truffles to be enjoyed at lunch or dinner either at our Pavilion or at one of many outstanding restaurants that have partnered with Red Hill Truffles. Fresh truffles are available for sale to enjoy at home using our recipe cards or your favourite dishes. .
Fiona and Jenny share more stories, cooking ideas and storage tips for fresh truffles along with serving ideas for truffle products in the Pavilion after the hunt.
Truffle Hunt & Pizza
A delicious & simple way to tell a local story about food. Hunt for your summer or winter truffles which will be served on a wood-fired pizza. Unearth the truffle with your own hands with our experienced hunters and our trained dogs. Learn about the mysterious world of truffles, how it is farm and more. The hunt will take about 2 hours which is followed by a home-made wood-fired pizza that you get to shave the fresh truffle you harvested over. No dairy-free option; GF option available.

Exclusive summer or winter truffle hunt experience optionally followed by a truffle pizza and/or truffle tasting board. In a perfect world they should be relaxed, fun, and a little bit indulgent, which is exactly how our truffle hunting events pan out. The hunts starts with a stroll through the truffiere taking in the oaks, hazelnut trees & perhaps native fauna with the help of trained dogs & a recipe creator of note boosts energy levels - finding truffles & savouring them with your pizza (optional).
