Go behind the scenes on a working Provençal truffle farm in the foothills of Les Alpilles, just minutes from Tarascon. Hunt with trained dogs, then savour a luxury tasting lunch — the ultimate Provence food bucket-list moment.
What to expect
A private car whisks you into the silver-leafed olive and almond landscapes of Les Alpilles to a family domaine where trufficulture has been practised for generations. Watch the farm's eager dog sniff out the precious black diamonds beneath ancient oak roots, then try your own hand at the search. The experience culminates with an elegant table set with truffle-laden Provençal dishes — omelette, bruschetta, perhaps a shaving over fresh pasta — accompanied by the estate's own AOC wine. The host's passion for their land makes every detail unforgettable.
Good to know
Truffle season peaks November–March, but farm visits with preserved truffle tastings run year-round. The farm is approximately 20 minutes from Tarascon by private car. Book at least one week in advance and confirm seasonality directly with the domaine. Return journey takes 25 minutes — build in comfortable time before all-aboard.
