Honestly, I’m still buzzing from our winter truffle hunting trip to Oallen. It feels exactly like visiting your coolest friends who happen to own a stunning 100-acre farm and know everything about truffles.
The moment we arrived, the lovely hosts, Tricia and Rainer, made us feel instantly at home. They are the absolute definition of "salt of the earth" people- so welcoming, and genuinely passionate about their land. There are no boring lectures here; Rainer and Tricia just chat with you like old mates, sharing awesome stories about how they built the farm and how this whole "black diamond" magic works.
But let’s be real, the absolute stars of the show are their brilliant dogs! We got to watch Barry (their legendary chief hunting canine), Roxy (affectionately dubbed the "Gold Digger" because she loves to swoop in for treats) & Betty （Barry’s adorable successor-in-training）work their magic. Watching the dogs sniff through the rows of oak trees and then suddenly freeze to point out a find, is pure joy.
The best part is the owners actually let you get down in the dirt to dig up your very own truffle and smell it while it's still half-buried in the ground! That first sniff of fresh, earthy black truffle right out of the soil is mind-blowing.
After the excitement of the hunt, everyone heads into their beautiful farm pavilion to have afternoon tea. Tricia serves up an incredible tasting session, featuring comforting treats like truffle-infused cauliflower soup, fresh truffle butter, cream, and even truffle chocolate! They show you exactly how to use truffles in everyday cooking without being intimidating at all. Rainer also shared photos showcasing the farm’s development from scratch adds such a beautiful, personal touch to the whole experience
Plus, you get to meet their other friendly farm animals, including an adorable pig named Truffle!
Including their cozy Airbnb-style farm stay is the perfect way to wrap up the day
