Turalla Truffles
Welcome to Turalla Truffles the home of the freshest Black Winter Truffle
and truly mouth watering Truffle experiences
The Turalla truffle Story
Established in 2005 on a Property near Bungendore NSW , Turalla Truffles is set on the picturesque Southern end of the Lake George Basin, a half hour drive from the nations capital. We grow “Black Truffle” or “Black Périgord Truffle” (Tuber melanosporum) named after the Périgord region in France. The French black truffle is the fruiting body of the fungus Tuber melanosporum.
The fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of oak and hazel trees. The edible portion, or truffle, is harvested in winter once it has matured.
“There are two types of people who eat truffles: those that think truffles are good because they are dear and those who know they are dear because they are good”

Join us on 28th June 2026 for a special Event
Turalla Truffles Sunday Lunch Degustation
at Water Through Reeds Art Gallery
11 Gibraltar St Bungendore
Turalla Truffle food events have become a thing of legend…
For the 2026 season we’re back hosting an exclusive of Pop Up truffle tasting event in our boutique Art Gallery In Bungendore ‘Water Through Reeds’
Having eaten multiple truffle meals cooked by so called truffle experts, we found a lot of truffle dishes fail. Why? Because usually people are using too little truffle and are trying to do too much with the truffle.
Enter Chef Kim De Poorter
Kim grew up in and around truffles in Europe, experimenting and perfecting his craft in France where he learnt from the likes of Jacques Maximin and Michel Rochedit.
His understanding of how to work with the delicate aroma and flavour of the Perigord Truffle is immense. He’s mastered the art of infusion like few others and delivers unique french style dishes that scream truffle magic.
So get ready…. as always with an our events, you will eat a lot of truffle prepared with techniques perfected from years of truffle experience here in Australia and abroad. You’ll meet the truffle hunters, hear the stories while eating a truckload of fresh truffle.
So why not get a group of food friends together and treat yourself to a gastronomic experience like no other!
This is a BYO event

Testimonials
What People are Saying about us.
“Well worth getting down and dirty..”
Entering the truffière shows us what nature can deliver and how a relationship between the truffle hunter and a Truffle dog is so important. The reward is an amazing product, which is then skilfully turned into a 4 course meal, with the truffles flavour and texture enhanced with each course.

“Wow what a great time”
“We did the hunt and lunch adventure, the food was amazing. Damian and his family are lovely people. My favorite foods were the truffle desert, truffle cheese, and the truffle pasta.
Watching the truffle dogs work is fantastic “
Dayanthi
“The ultimate truffle adventure”
“Awesome experience, clear difference between fresh truffles & store truffled products. This is the real deal. The dog was delightful, and that’s before he found anything! Damien was super helpful & informative, would come back again just for the scenery & company“
