Embark on an authentic truffle hunting and tasting adventure with First Nature, led by expert forager Ava and her award-winning truffle dog, a Field Labrador who has smashed records at “The Joriad,” North America’s Truffle Dog Championship. This immersive experience combines hands-on foraging with education, as you explore the lush Oregon forest, learn about truffle ecology, and witness live demonstrations of cleaning, caring for, and cooking with truffles.

Cap off your excursion with an optional gourmet truffle lunch at Alloro Vineyard, where the chef’s expertly crafted truffle-inspired dishes pair perfectly with exquisite local wines. It’s a one-of-a-kind journey into the world of truffles, blending adventure, culinary excellence, and unforgettable Oregon scenery.
