Winter heralds the truffle season in Australia . Thanks to the good folks at Truffle Melbourne , there are many truffle-inspired events taking place in Melbourne. Activities are also taking place in Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula . You can enjoy a free truffle festival in Prahran Market, cooking lesson at The Craft & Co, truffle degustation among the vines and tasting with Rodney Dunn, just to name a few.



What better way to come up-close to this aromatic fungi in Melbourne than with a truffle hunt. Black Cat Truffles , just a drive from the city or Ballarat , is offering 2 opportunities to wrap your fingers around some freshly dug out truffles and learn the best way to cook with them.
