Head into the forest(By the mill, easy to walk) with a licensed local truffle hunter and his trained dogs for a genuine search.

We’ll also share the traditions of black truffle hunting in Hungary and give a clear, guest-friendly overview of the key rules when searches are allowed, where and with whose permission, and how responsible, legal truffle hunting is done in practice.

Gourmet Tasting (mill tasting area) Savor classic “nature” foie gras, our signature foie gras with black truffle & Tokaji Aszú, and truffle butter crowned with fresh truffle - paired with more bubbles. Light bites included. We’ll also explain how to use black truffle in the kitchen, with practical tips on selecting, storing, shaving, and finishing dishes to capture the aroma.
