As the winter chill fills the air and the sniff of snow looms deep in the horizon, the Borrodell team prepares for the most decadent event of the year - the Black Tie and Gumboot Truffle Hunt and Dinner!
Borrodell has the oldest truffle oak trees on mainland Australia and – as with all quality produce – freshness is key to unlocking all the nuances of a truffle's flavour profile. Guests are guided through the 30 year old truffle trees to search for truffles with the truffle dogs, then retire to the warmth of the candle-lit wine cellar, complete with a glorious fireplace, for a luxurious degustation feast prepared by some of the finest chefs in the country.
Guests are not only encouraged to dress like they're attending the Oscars – but there are also prizes for the best gumboot! So get out the hot glue and paste those diamontes to your favourite pair to be in the running for a prize!
