Now in its 11th year, The Truffle Festival will return to the Canberra Region from 1-31.
The Canberra region is famous for high quality truffles, due to the cold climate which matures the truffles creating a sensational aroma. The festival celebrates truffles in a range of events including truffle dishes at local restaurants, cooking demonstrations as well as truffle hunts on one of the many trufferies. Many of these hunts also offer a hunt and cook experience, where you can indulge in a truffle meal at the end of the hunt – a real paddock to plate experience. Truffles will be available for purchase at a number of markets as well as direct from the growers.
The Truffle Festival has turned a slow and chilly period for tourist operators into a calendar highlight. The festival is expected to inject $8 million into the local economy this year, according to a 2018 study from Central Queensland University.
The Truffle Festival is the ultimate foodie festival and a fabulous celebration of winter in the Canberra region.
