Tresillian Truffle Events

We run authentic truffle hunts in the season (June, July and August) in Canterbury NZ. Plus we support artisan markets and fetes throughout the year. From a truffle hunt in gum boots followed by truffle tastings, to a truffle hunt followed by a full six-course degustation meal, prepared by a NZ chef, we have an event you’ll cherish.

All about our Truffles

Unique

The Ultimate Truffle Experience

Unearth the mystique of the Bianchetto Truffle on a Tresillian truffle hunt. On the root hairs of the pine, oak and hazelnut trees grow the Bianchetto Truffle.

The globule shaped Bianchetto Truffle has a rich earthy, garlic aroma that can be buried 15cm below the surface. Wander through our truffierre with your choice of mulled wine or spiced apple cider, finding and harvesting truffles with the help of our truffle dogs Bess and Buff.

Follow our truffle dogs as they smell out the truffles, then have a try at digging them for yourself. Once the hunt is completed, enjoy an six-course degustation meal prepared in front of you in an intimate setting with a professional chef.

Paired with local wines and produce, you can fully enjoy the Bianchetto Truffle in all its glory. Indulge in this unique opportunity and explore what is hiding beneath your feet. With Tresillian Truffle’s only a short 15 minute drive from Christchurch airport, it is the perfect place to come and explore.

What Our Customers Say

Shuto

Japanese Embassy

“We would like to express our gratitude for these precious truffles…

The truffles were enjoyed by the guests with a wonderful meal prepared by the New Zealand Embassy Chef Mr. Damian. The tasting session was followed by a New Zealand sparkling wine with truffle in it and toast was held at the Embassy’s terrace.

The quality of the truffles was excellent. The chefs from some of the best restaurants in Japan, celebrities, politicians, journalists and many others we invited enjoyed it very much. The flavors and tastes of the truffles were highly praised and people commented that it was a wonderful experience.“

Ben

Truffle Hunter

“We came down from Nelson and the truffle hunt with Lisa and Bess exceeded both our expectations!

Amazing truffles, size, quality and aroma exceptional. We were not expecting to have the opportunity to have a ‘dig’, this was nerve racking and exciting at the same time. Bess was so patient with me as I dug for the truffles.

Thanks, Lisa, for the tips and tricks of using truffles at home, we can not wait to prepare our dishes at home.”
