Thank you Travel Salem for the love! Truffle tours are filling up quickly, reach out soon if you want to go this season.

Truffles are a special fungi incorporated in dishes throughout the world - four species of which can be found right here in Oregon!

Will Craigie of Prestige Wine Tours, based in Salem, leads truffle hunts in nearby forests using trained dogs who can sniff out the prized treasures buried in the soil of surrounding trees. Truffle hunts range from 1-2 hours, ending with a visit to a boutique winery where a chef and sommelier will pair your truffles with tasty bites and world class Pinot Noir. Truffle hunting season runs through March and possibly into April, weather permitting.
