Black Gold Hunt & Dinner

A morning hunt and truffle dinner at Max’s Restaurant has all the makings of a grand day out on the Mornington Peninsula. Hunting for black truffles, also known as black gold or kitchen diamonds, is a great start to any day with excited truffle-hunting dogs in a beautifully rustic setting. Jenny delivers entertaining, informative commentary and encourages visitors to get their hands a bit dirty holding on to fresh truffles.

Following the hunt, we recommend some time relaxing especially if you have decided to spend the night on the peninsula. To complete your day, dress for sumptuous truffle dining amid the vines at Max’s Restaurant. Truffles and truffle products are available for sale at the end of the hunt – bottled “black gold” keeps the magic alive for a little bit longer.

Truffle Hunt and Pizza

Pizza is a delicous & simple way to tell a local story about food.

The aroma of freshly baked wood-fired pizza is usually enough to get most people reaching for a slice – maybe debating pineapple as a topping.

We like to think of our home-made pizza as a delicious finale to hunting truffles and detecting their aromas as they are taken from the ground.

For pizza lovers & truffle aficionados alike, our pizzas made with freshly shaved Red Hill Truffles are a surprising treat, that tell the relatively new story of truffle farming on the Mornington Peninsula.

Fresh truffles are available to impress on your next pizza night when you can mention hunting for this very special topping.

Date: June, July, August

$169 per person limited to 16 guests.
