Our two local truffiéres and their respective dogs are bringing in the goods… Bianchetto white truffle has just come in from Gareth and Rosie at Limestone Hills ^[1], and Kings Truffles’ ^[2] Perigord truffles are on the menu next week, thanks to Jax and Freddy.  Delicious, aromatic and comforting – lush with Pinot Noir, butter, and starch. It’s a wonderful time of year.

We are open all winter, Wednesday – Sunday, for cosy fireside dining and an abundance of truffles on the menu.

Truffle Lunch – Saturday 28 July

Tickets to our annual Black Estate Truffle Lunch are now up at dashtickets.co.nz. ^[3]

Join our crew at Kings Truffles ^[4] in Waipara Gorge to get up close and personal with truffles and hunt for them with Freddy the truffle dog. There’ll be plenty of soil smelling and a backdrop of North Canterbury’s most outrageous vistas.

Take a bus up to Kings Truffles from Christchurch for an 11am tour of the truffiérie. You will then be driven to Black Estate for a 5 course lunch using Kings’ and Limestone Hills’ truffles, matched with aged Black Estate wines. The bus departs Black Estate at 4pm for the city.

Tickets are $260 including bus, or  “just the lunch” at $225 per head which does not include a bus.  Tickets are limited.
Tickets available here. ^[5]
