Plantin Truffle

In under an hour, learn all the secrets of the truffle at the Truffle Institute and workshop and enjoy a gourmet tasting in their shop. The mythical truffle with its infamous scent occupies a special place in the French gastronomic “art de vivre” (or ‘art of living’). Situated in the heart of one of the world’s greatest truffle-growing regions, PLANTIN’s sole ambition since 1930 has been to sublimate the art of the truffle, while respecting noble gastronomic traditions. PLANTIN will reveal all the secrets of the mysterious world of truffles during a 45-minute guided tour of its production workshops; from the search for the most beautiful truffle fields, the most passionate producers and the finest specimens of truffles, to the practice of ancestral know-how handed down from generation to generation for 90 years. The all-oak sales and tasting area welcomes you into an authentic, natural world where you can discover the treasures of PLANTIN.
