Truffle Hunts

A decadent day of all things truffles being chauffeured on Bella the Dog Bus to Wattle Flat in Regional Victoria. Experience a guided Peeps hunt with the experts and enjoy the Paws racing around for their special truffle treasure hunt. The day is filled with the black magic of truffles - learn about the farming and harvesting and then sit back and enjoy a truffle inspired grazing menu carefully created by an acclaimed Chef - Liam Downes from Black Cat Truffles. There is off leash time for the pooches to get up close and personal with the best sniffs. This is a day to remember - so grab those colourful gumboots and coming hunting and grazing.
