The winter/spring season is from late May to early September; the summer/autumn season is from late November to early April.

  • Truffle hunts for tour groups are primarily weekday events. To book a weekend hunt would require 4 months lead time to secure a morning start time and 2 months for an afternoon start time. Truffle hunts are in high demand. To book a tour group it is best to book months ahead.

  • All tour bookings must be accompanied with full payment.

  • The maximum number of people on a tour is 20 (larger numbers can be accommodated by splitting into groups). The booking form does not allow for numbers higher than 20 unless previously agreed.

  • The price per person for weekday tours is A$200 for truffle hunt and truffle lunch. Minimum payment is A$2,400. The price per person is A$240 for weekend tours. Minimum payment is A$3,000.

  • Red Hill Truffles is about 1hr south of Melbourne just off a major freeway.

  • A truffle hunt will last for about 2 to 3 hours. This includes a 20-30 minute talk about truffles, truffle farming and our farm. Then the group goes out with a hunter and a trained truffle hunting dog who will sniff out the truffles in the ground. The group will have the opportunity to get down and sniff the truffle to see if it ripe, if so they will be asked to dig it and out. This is hands-on experience (U-pick). Then back to our hunt pavilion to wash the truffles and hear some amazing facts, science and mysteries of truffles. After the hunt there is a truffle lunch with truffle soup and pizza (winter) or truffle cheese, pizza & ice cream (summer).

  • Optional extras include Japanese/English translator on the farm tour.

  • All prices are tour operator prices, tour operator can charge any amount to the participants

  • Changes to dates will be accommodated as best we can which will depend on the lead time given to make the change and subject to availability.

  • Cancellations with full refund will be accepted up to 7 days prior to weekday hunts. For weekend hunts, as these are peak times, cancellations will not be accepted under 30 days notice.
