Overview

For truffle aficionados, the tastiest time of year has arrived. And this truffle season, funghi fans can get extra excited for the long-awaited return of South Melbourne Market's ever-popular celebration, A Truffle Affair.

Running twice daily (11am, 2pm) on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July 22–31, the festival invites punters on a flavour-packed roving degustation, enjoying truffle-infused creations from a lineup of market vendors.

The self-guided food tour will see you sampling bites like Cobb Lane's potato, brie and Australian truffle danish; mushroom gyoza with a truffle black bean sauce from Bambu; Proper & Son's truffled cheese toastie; truffle-topped chips from Marko; and even a truffle and choc chip dessert courtesy of Cannoleria.

There are ten tour stops all up, kicking off with an introduction at Georgie's Harvest, where you'll precede your truffle hunt with some education and cooking tips.

A Truffle Affair tickets are $100, which gets you a signature truffle dish from each vendor. And if you want to continue the truffle appreciation at home, there are goodie bags available to add onto your ticket for an extra $80.
