Summer & Winter Truffle Hunting
Begin your truffle experience with the Mornington Peninsula’s first truffle producer and founder of Red Hill Truffles, Jenny McAuley.
Hands on truffle hunting
Jenny’s expert knowledge of truffles, fungi and the peninsula, coupled with her engaging story telling build on the ancient mystique of truffle hunting in preparation for an exhilarating hunt.
Get your hands dirty and enter the world Jenny and the truffle hunting dogs Maddie and Jasper have made their own, creating a top attraction on the Mornington Peninsula for food lovers and adventure seekers. See the full selection of hunts available at Book a Hunt.
The truffière of oak, hazelnut and pine trees inoculated to produce Red Hill Truffles®, is a unique setting changing with each season, giving new life to a long-held family farm.
The dogs put their well-honed skills to work finding truffles, which guests can uncover, digging carefully to reveal the well hidden fungi and release its aroma.
Gourmet truffle tastings including home-made pizza are served following the hunts where you can shave the Red Hill Truffles® you have harvested over your pizza. There are several special events that features truffle at the best restaurants on the Peninsula.
Guests can purchase fresh Red Hill Truffles® and truffle products including salt, butter, honey, mustard, aioli and mushroom paste.
Truffle hunting vouchers, valid for 3 years, can be purchased online.
“As a tour guide, I know the Mornington Peninsula is a five-star attraction for local, interstate & international tourists. Truffle hunting at Red Hill Truffles is a standout experience and a major drawcard for visitors.”
