WEEKEND EXPERIENCES
The Seventh 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.
All weekend participants get to participate in a range of activities, beginning with the festival Grand Opening gala on Friday, celebrating coming home to America with author and host Molly O’Neill, in an evening called One Big Table, and concluding with our Sunday Truffle Marketplace, bursting with all things truffle. We look forward to hosting you in January!
