A most sought after experience - Join us in the forest and find truffles, then cook with them in The Kitchen!
Truffle Hunt & Dinner Experience
We are super excited to be partnering with our neighbor and friend, Sarah Colby. She spends her weekends enjoying local forested land (mostly privately owned) with her dogs in search of the Oregon white truffle. A local chiropractor by day, she is passionate about the connection we have to the land, and considers educating people on truffle hunting as her opportunity for environmental stewardship.
This foraging adventure will start with us meeting at 1 pm at The Kitchen. We will caravan to our nearby location, where she will take us on a foray through the woods with her dog. It be begin with a dog hunting demonstration with planted truffles, so you can learn how the team (human and dog) work together to find truffles. She will educate us on what makes a suitable place to forage, the sustainable ways to both harvest and love the land. After about an hour or so, we will head back to The Kitchen to do the finishing touches on a lovely, truffle inspired dinner. Think savory truffle beignets, fresh pasta with shaved truffle…even a truffle inspired dessert.
Note that this event is a 6 hour experience. Dress for whatever Oregon weather brings us, including shoes that aren’t destroyed by the forest. There will be a place to hang your parka at The Kitchen for a lovely meal – Oregon style (hear: not fancily dressed)
This event culminates in a family-style meal around our beautiful barnwood tables. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer upon arrival at The Kitchen and another with your meal! All non-alcoholic beverages are also included.
You Will Learn
- the joy of working with a truffle trained dog in the forest
- how to careful work truffles out of the dirt
- how to clean, process and use truffles safely in your food

On the Menu
The menu will be inspired by the season and the day in the forest, but plan on a delicious truffle infused menu that goes from small bite through dessert!
