Our visit to L'air du Wombat for a truffle hunt was a highlight and made for a truly memorable special occasion. From the moment we arrived (a bit late, we must confess), we felt incredibly welcome. Rainer was so forgiving, patiently waiting for us at the entrance and taking the time to catch us up on what we had missed.
The hospitality from Rainer and Tricia is simply outstanding. They are a genuinely warm and kind couple who have so much passion for what they do. We were blown away by the detailed introduction, which covered over a decade of their truffle knowledge, the different levels and grading of truffles, and how they train their amazing truffle dogs. It was a fascinating and educational experience.
After our exhilarating truffle hunt, which included perfect photo opportunities, a chance to dig up our own truffle, and lots of interaction with the friendly dogs and horses in the cold weather - we were treated to a delightful tasting. The hot cauliflower soup with fresh truffle flickers was absolutely divine, and the truffle panna cotta was a beautiful surprise.
The animals were the stars of the show! A special shout-out to Truffle the Pig and of course, Barry, the main truffle finder, who was expertly assisted by Roxy, also known as the gold digger! They are all incredibly friendly and welcoming.
We left with a happy heart, our truffle hamper, and a fresh truffle. We also took Rainer's recommendation to visit a local cafe in Marulan, and the local cafe were so happy to hear about this word of mouth recommendation. We also shared our amazing experience with the lovely people at Fairywren candle company based from Found Antiques in Bowral during our pitstop on the way home.
We can't recommend this truffle farm enough. It's the best outdoor experience, and we loved supporting this local Australian business. The people and animals are super friendly, and the quality of the truffles is absolutely amazing. Great hospitality all around - we couldn't have asked for more! Hope to visit again soon 🙂
