Truffle hunting is a must for all Oregon foodies and adventure-seekers. During the excursion, you'll learn about all things truffles, including how to differentiate between varieties, how to care for these rare culinary treasures, and how to cook with these delicious little nuggets of umami gold.
(And trust us: they are worth their weight in gold! Truffles are one of the most expensive foods on the planet. The most prized varieties can cost well over $4,000 per pound!)
