Did you know that the Willamette Valley has four main edible varieties of Truffles native to the area: Oregon winter white, Oregon spring white, Oregon black, and Oregon brown truffles.
In February 2027 the Italian Portland Social Group will host First Nature Tours for a presentation on all things Truffles. Including their adorable Truffle dog! 🐶
Then, in March 2027, join us on a Saturday or Sunday (exact date is TBD) for an Immersive Truffle Excursion! Embark on a journey into the heart of the Willamette Valley with First Nature Tours as we invite you to join our extraordinary truffle hunting and tasting tour. Our fully immersive experience is not just an adventure; it’s a lesson in nature, led by an expert truffle hunter and their reliable truffle dog. Let’s delve into the world of truffle hunting and discover the delicacies hidden beneath the soil! We will meet in one location at 9:00 am and board a luxury van to be taken to the truffle hunting area, then we'll head to Alloro Vineyards for a Truffle-themed lunch and Wine Pairing.
The discounted rate for Italian Portland guests is $225 per person.
Regular price for this is approx. $375.
