WEEKEND EXPERIENCES
The Eighth annual Oregon Truffle Festival has a range of elegant and unique A la Carte and Weekend experiences to offer you. Whether it's savoring our native truffles' sensory deliciousness, joining expert chefs to cook with them, relaxing in the elegant environment of a Tuscan Villa with a gorgeous pinot, chasing truffle dogs on the hunt, or grappling with the mysteries of truffle cultivation, we know you'll find an experience that will inspire and delight.
"My first Oregon Truffle Festival left me feeling spoiled rotten and filled with wonder. Inhaling the aroma of the magical pineapple-scented Oregon Black truffles has been one of the great joys of my thirty three years with wild gourmet foods, and getting reacquainted with ripe seductive Oregon whites was a such a pleasure. To then look down into the eyes of the dog who dug them is something that stays in your heart forever. We foraged and then feasted on these magnificent truffles for a weekend of delicious camaraderie that only the Oregon Truffle Festival can provide."

I just returned from my first Oregon Truffle Festival and I can say that it was an awesome experience, beyond my wildest dreams. The staff of the festival were very friendly and made me and others feel welcomed. I enjoyed the whole weekend OTF experience so much that I would totally recommend it to others and hope to be back in the future.
