Quick Details
Enjoy a real truffle hunt in Provence!
Experience Provence off the beaten track with one of France’s most traditional and secretive countryside traditions: The truffle hunt! We conduct truffle-hunting tours in English during summer and winter truffle seasons, followed by a sampling of fresh truffle hors d’oeuvres, Champagne, and a tasting of olive and truffle oil.
We also host grape stomps and olive harvests with platters of Provençal cheese and charcuterie, plus lots of our rosé and red wine!
Go behind the scenes of the world’s most secretive business.
Take a tour of a Provençal truffle plantation, learn how truffles are cultivated and truffle dogs are trained, and go on a hunt for France’s elusive “black gold” with professional hunters who know all the tricks of the trade.
You’ll be regaled with stories of successes and sabotage, and learn to tell the difference between a real Provençal tuber melanosporum and its inferior Chinese counterparts. You’ll also learn how to properly clean, store and cook with truffles.
Tours are followed up with a sampling of fresh truffle hors d’oeuvres, Champagne and a tasting of our organic olive and truffle oil.

We had the most amazing time. Johann was a fantastic host, interesting, fun and attentive. As two women on our own, he also organised for us to get a lift back into town so we didn't have to walk in the dark, putting our minds at ease. The wine was delicious and the food was fantastic. The experience was something you wouldn't find anywhere else, traditionally French but Johann made it accessible to everyone. I would recommend it to anyone and I would love to go again!
We visited Johann’s vineyard for both grape stomping and truffle hunting on our trip across France, and we had the most incredible time! Johann was welcoming, friendly, fun and full of facts. We had such a great day. We were kept loaded…
Such an amazing experience! I never thought truffle hunting will be this fun. The tour was truly great, so informative, super friendly and the estate is very picturesque. You will learn everything about truffles and you also get to pet the cute friendly dogs, take loads of pictures and sample so much truffle at the end. I’ve never had as much fresh truffles as I did on this tour in my entire life. You can also purchase truffles and other home grown products from their farm such as honey, truffle olive oil and lavender oil. Merci Johann Pepin and your wonderful team for the grand memories.
