1. This workshop is available at $1,000 for up to two people and begins at the Garland’s home.

2. During the 2–to–3-hour technical presentation, we comprehensively cover everything from understanding truffles to the science of truffles and successful truffle cultivation techniques. Snacks, including truffle butter and truffle cheeses, and refreshments are offered throughout the presentation. There is a question-and-answer session after the presentation.

3. Following the presentation, our truffle–tasting lunch is served. The menu varies seasonally, but you will taste various dishes with ample truffles.

4. After lunch, we walk through the greenhouse, where we grow our truffle trees. Weather permitting, we proceed to our orchard to view various practical aspects of truffle cultivation. It is highly recommended that you bring adequate footwear for potentially wet or muddy conditions. We can take a trained dog to look for truffles during harvest season.
