About this experience & host

You will visit the Benjamin’s truffle field , in the vicinity of Cucuron. His wife Virginie and he have a common passion: the truffle, tuber melanosporum, also called « black diamond » or « black truffle ».
During this outing, you will attend a real hunting and digging session. You will be surprised by the number of techniques used to collect this expensive fungus. How to train a dog to locate truffles? Is it true that a brown fly can lead you to truffles? Benjamin will answer your questions ...
The Luberon, besides being a destination of choice for your holidays is an authentic rural area, ideal for nature lovers. Many farmers have turned to truffle farming, which has become a very valuable activity.
