Exhibit at Queen Victoria Market Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th June 2022


The Truffle Melbourne Festival at Queen Victoria Market is a free public event featuring Australia's best truffle tastes and experiences – it’s truffle heaven, and the biggest truffle celebration weekend outside Europe.

2022 is our ninth year and we have a large and growing following of dedicated foodies and experience seekers. Each year, rain or shine, exhibitors have sold out on both days.

We delivered a jam packed and sold out COVID-Safe festival weekend in 2021 in between lockdowns to huge crowds desperate for their truffle fix!
