In the Luberon, a Franco-American couple who came to take over a family business (vineyard, organic farm and truffle grower) will help you discover the secrets of truffles. A visit to the Provençal truffle plantation will allow you to gain knowledge of how truffles are grown and how truffle dogs are trained. You will then go cave the truffle with these professional hunters.
You will be regaled with stories of successes and sabotages and learn to tell the difference between a true Provençal tuber melanosporum and its inferior Chinese counterparts. You will also learn how to properly clean, store and cook truffles.
Tours are followed by a tasting of fresh truffle hors d’oeuvres, champagne and a tasting of our estate organic olive and truffle oil.
