Event Description:
The rich and beautiful palette of Italian truffle culture will join with Oregon’s budding truffle industry at the sixth annual Oregon Truffle Festival. The destination weekend festival is composed of five weekend and several stand-alone experience options, culminating in the Grand Truffle Dinner. Guests can enjoy lectures, cooking classes, winery luncheons, truffle forays with trained truffle dogs, truffle farm tours and, of course, truffle-infused fare. Tickets for all events may be purchased online at www.oregontrufflefestival.com. A three-day celebration of all things truffle, the festival has delighted truffle enthusiasts, chefs, foodies, truffle hunters and truffle growers for the past five years with tastings, tours, workshops and speakers from all over the world. The 2011 festival will feature Italian truffle scientists and agronomists from Mondo Tartufo, including a North American first: a truffle sensorial analysis, developed by sommelier and international wine judge Alessandro Mondello. Truffles are world-renowned for their exquisite taste, and understanding how to discern the flavor notes at different stages of ripeness is essential to understanding their use in cuisine. Douglas Gayeton, photographer, filmmaker and author, will also be on hand to speak about his chronicling of the Slow Food movement born in Italy. This year’s Truffle Growers’ Forum features guests from the largest truffle association in Italy, Mondo Tartufo. For the first time a talk will be presented on the cultivation of the world’s most sought after truffle, the “tuber magnatum,” or Italian white truffle. After an overwhelmingly positive response last year, the Truffle Dog Training Seminar is returning again for the 2011 festival. A select few dogs and their owners will learn how to sniff their way to truffle treasure in the natural habitat of the Oregon truffle. The seminar will again be taught by Jim Sanford of Blackberry Farm Resort in Tennessee and by Jean Rand, owner of Oregon’s most accomplished truffle dog. Participants at the Truffle festival can also take part in workshops on a number of subjects, including learning how to grow and cultivate truffles and how to select and prepare both the black and white Oregon truffles. On Saturday, attendees can look forward to the Grand Truffle Dinner, a multi-course truffle feast prepared by five of the Northwest’s most acclaimed chefs with expertise in creating the most sumptuous truffle dishes.
