Truffle Hunting Tours
Black Tie Tours is now offering truffle hunting tours on a limited basis. Tromp around the Oregon wilderness with a real truffle dog team! They will demonstrate how they work together to unearth the native Oregon truffle. You will learn truffle hunting do's and don’ts, storage and care of truffles and how to use those delicious little nuggets in your own kitchen. You will even take some home with you!
A Bougie Truffle Tromp
The Bougie Truffle Tromp begins with a pickup from a Downtown Newberg location. We’ll transport you to our local truffle forest to meet up with the truffle hunting team and guest winemaker. Then you’ll learn some of the basics of truffles and truffle hunting from Stefan before setting out into the woods. That’s where the magic happens! The truffle team will work hard and get as many quality truffles as they can before you move on to lunch.
Lunch will be served in a covered area by Chef Erick Caballero of Caballero’s Catering. Weather permitting, he’ll cook the fresh and local fare over a fire on site and incorporate fresh truffles so you can enjoy the tasty delights we just unearthed!
Our guest winery will pour their wines during lunch and tell you all about their process, history and what makes those wines special to them. Oregon pinot noir and truffle are a natural pairing!
If guests are up for another run through the woods, then we’ll give it another go to see if we can get a few more before we send you on your way with a truffle or two of your own.
These are group tours so expect to meet some fellow truffle enthusiasts! Groups will be limited to 10 guests. Inquire about reserving a private tour for you and your friends.

A Rustic Truffle Tromp
