Winter ushers in the season of the truffle in NSW. These pungent subterranean treats are the king of fungi and, while their earthy flavour are suited to more sophisticated palates, hunting them out is a dirt-inviting affair your inner woodland child will adore.
From June to August, Robertson Truffle Farm in the leafy Southern Highlands invites the public to pick up trowels and join the truffle harvest. After a truffle Q&A session, you'll follow the wise noses of the truffle dogs as they uncover the hidden bounties — some hide more than ten centimetres below the surface while others erupt dramatically from the red volcanic basalt soil.
