Overview
It's truffle season in Australia which is heaven for truffle lovers (and a fungus minefield for everyone else). Most restaurants run truffle specials during the colder months for the short-lived season but Mister Bianco in Kew is going all out: they've got three exclusive truffle-themed events coming up.
The first is a truffle cooking demonstration and dinner on Friday July 28, in which Joe Vargetto is bringing back Giuseppe's Cooking School to run guests through the basics of cooking with this most indulgent of ingredients. You'll get to watch his truffle masterclass then eat the results along with matched wines.
Next up is a special Truffle Dinner on Tuesday, August 8. This is the ultimate truffle dining experience: four courses, all showcasing local Buxton black truffles, each matched with cocktails and wine. A seat at the table will set you back $189. Dishes include raviolo with a caramel truffle butter centre, which sounds absolutely insane in the best possible way.
Lastly, we have the Truffle Farm Drive on Sunday, August 20. This one's pretty epic: guests meet at Mister Bianco, then take a bus out to Utter (the home of Buxton black truffles) for a day on the farm, foraging with the truffle dogs and tucking into delicious truffle-infused treats. This one's limited to 24 guests, and you can opt to meet the group at Utter, if that's easier.
