Come Spend Time With Us And Learn About Truffle Hunting...

Not many foods are steeped in history and mystery like truffles. From their origins in the ancient forests of Europe to their brave adaption to the harsh Australian climate, truffles have been long considered a famed delicacy. It is our aim to share with you the experience and wonder of being immersed in the hunt for truffles.

I came here 8 years ago and absolutely LOVED the experience. The owners give an incredible highly informative tour giving a wealth of knowledge and information. Again they went above and beyond to accomodate my friend and myself. The sample truffle infused foods were devine especially the truffle infused pana cotta, heveanly, truly. The truffle dogs especially Barry, and Betty the apprentice incredible and sniffed out truffle every time. Loved all the farm animals. This really is a magical experience. You are really really missing out if you don’t experience. They also have fabulous accommodation! Thank you both so very much Tricia and Rainer. I will come next year!

What a glorious winter’s day experience we had at L’Air Du Wombat. Truffle hunting is fun and learning all about truffle “farming” is such a rewarding experience. L’Air Du Wombat is a relaxed, casual, family run farm. Rainer and Tricia are lovely people, with a good sense of humour, very knowledgeable about all things Truffle, and went out of their way to accommodate our curiosity and all our questions. Thank you Tricia and Rainer and Kate for creating a great experience for us to enjoy. I highly recommend L’Air Du Wombat to anyone wanting to enjoy truffle hunting.. Also, it’s very reasonable cost-wise.

My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour. We both enjoyed how knowledgeable Tricia and Rainer were and how much they were willing to share. The farm itself was beautiful; getting to feed the horses and walk alongside the dogs whilst digging up truffles. At the end of the tour we had pizza and some tastings which were delicious. Would recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in foods and farming. Thank you!

Absolutely loved the Truffle hunt ❤️ The experience was such a lovely adventure of Learning, smelling, tasting and getting your hands in the dirt foraging. Best part was hanging out with and cuddling the farm animals. Highly recommend.

You don’t need to be an experienced chef to enjoy black winter truffle.

Are you an established culinary genius searching for authentic, Australian-grown black truffle (Tuber melanosporum)? Or a connoisseur of fine dining, hoping to savour a gourmet dish outside the confines of a restaurant? There is nothing quite like using the truffle you hunted, for the home cook creating your own meal for family and friends will be delightful.
