The Truffledore is a boutique truffle farm and experiential venue located in Lower Barrington, Tasmania. It offers hands‑on truffle experiences led by experienced hosts and trained scent dogs. Guests can join a guided truffle hunt to locate and unearth seasonal black winter truffles, then enjoy a farmhouse four‑course truffle feast paired with local wines in a cozy setting.
Truffledore also operates an immersive two‑night experience that teaches visitors to work with truffle dogs, participate in real hunts, and prepare a gourmet truffle dinner under expert guidance. The farm hosts an annual End of Truffle Season Feast — a long table degustation banquet beneath oak trees featuring guest chefs and wine pairings — and a festive Christmas High Tea with a selection of sweet and savory holiday treats beside the property’s decorated tree.
Owners Timo and Ina run the farm and provide personalized attention during stays and events. Ina works with the trained dogs during hunts, and both hosts engage directly with guests during meals and workshops. The Truffledore focuses on authentic, small‑group experiences that combine food education, rural hospitality, and the sensory thrill of finding premium Tasmanian black truffles.
Visitors book specific events or multi‑night stays to participate in truffle hunting, culinary demonstrations, and communal dining, all set within the farm’s rural Lower Barrington landscape.
