Australia hosts Mundaring Truffle Festival

Western Australia grows more French black truffle than the rest of Australia put together and the Mundaring Truffle Festival (31 July to 1 August), is an ideal opportunity to taste and learn about the fabled fungi from some of the country’s top chefs and food producers.

The festival is set in unmistakable Australian countryside providing a taste of the old world firmly rooted in the new. Located in Mundaring in the Perth Hills, a 45 min drive east of Perth, the event celebrates the annual harvest and includes truffle tasting, hunts and master classes with truffle afficionado Alain Fabregues, owner-chef of The Loose Box restaurant in Mundaring.

There is also a wine show, cooking classes and a gourmet food market as well as art exhibitions and workshops.
