Our local truffle season is a gift.  A chance to wonder about the richness and aroma of microzial fungi in the soil beneath our feet and smell sweet and saline perfume, enjoy with the fruits of paired aged wines and dine a little slower and longer.  The Lee family and their dogs at Kings' Truffles have been supplying us with the best quality Perigord truffles for almost 10 years now.  Growing in limestone soils under dramatic escarpments in the Waipara Gorge and harvested almost daily, Kings' truffles on our menu is truly seasonal and local. Lucky old us. 

Our annual Truffle Day Out is on 22 June 2024, right on winter solstice. 

Join Kings Truffles at 11am in the morning to dig truffles with the Lee family and their dogs Freddy and Scratch.   Coffee and cake is provided on arrival.  Then drive or bus 15 minutes north to our restaurant for a 5 course truffle inspired lunch cooked by Olly le Maitre, matched with aged Black Estate wines.  Lunch begins around 1230pm and is a true celebration of winter!
