Taste, smell, learn and experience all things truffle at the twelfth (almost) annual Napa Truffle Festival.
Plus, one big free Marketplace!

Whether you’re you a foodie with a passion for truffles, or a food voyager with a curiosity about one of the most exclusive foods in the world, the Napa Truffle Festival has something for you with programs that offer an opportunity to explore and learn firsthand from experts about the gastronomy, science, history, mystery and hunting and harvesting of the highly prized Périgord black truffle (aka black diamonds).

For a truffle adventure, on Saturday come for Dig Truffles? — A Foodie’s Guide with Winery Truffle Lunch & Cooking Demo at Bouchaine Vineyards. This day-long journey offers all things truffle, including a cooking demo, fun science, meet the truffle dogs and, of course, lots and lots of extraordinary truffle cuisine paired with wines and presented by world-class experts. Or, come on Sunday for a Winery Truffle Lunch at Donum Estate where you can explore the Estate’s stunning grounds and artworks on a self-paced walking tour. The day includes a rousing truffle dog demo (petting encouraged!). See the highly trained truffle dogs in action as they sniff out truffles.

Looking for a divine dining experience? The Truffles & Wine Dinner at La Toque offers the ultimate culinary truffle experience. Composed by Michelin star and master chefs flown in from around the world, this opulent dinner is truffle cuisine at its absolute best! It’s not every day that FOUR Michelin star/master chefs converge in the same kitchen to create a meal. Incomparably earthy and primal, the finest and freshest black truffles take center stage in each exquisite course, expertly prepared by our superstar chefs. The evening begins with a reception featuring Roederer Estate’s classic sparkling wine served with elegant truffle canapes, followed by a superb multi-course truffle menu impeccably paired with some of the world’s finest library and reserve wines, hand-selected by Chef Ken Frank and his team of sommeliers to complement the complex flavors of the black truffle dishes.

For a more casual experience, you can catch the free Monday Truffle Festival Marketplace at Oxbow Public Market where you’ll get a chance to sample the extraordinary flavors of the mythic black truffle prepared in every sort of fabulous way — from wild mushroom goat cheese truffle enchiladas, truffled grilled oysters and pizza al tartufo to truffled French fries, chocolate truffles, and cheeky cupcakes with little pink pigs (as in: they hunt truffles). Also, taste wines, see cooking demos, meet the truffle dogs, and shop for specialty foods and products. Plus, buy your own fresh black truffle!
