The Folly Truffles is Queensland’s first commercial truffle farm, located in Ballandean in the heart of Granite Belt Wine Country.
Visitors can experience life on a working truffle farm through guided tours available throughout the year and seasonal truffle hunts during harvest. Tours begin with a walk through the truffière, where visitors learn how black truffles are grown, harvested and prepared for the table. Guides Maple and Ben share the story of truffle farming, from planting and production through to the finished product.
During harvest season, visitors may also have the opportunity to watch trained truffle dogs search for truffles beneath the soil.
The experience continues with a truffle-inspired lunch and wine tasting at The Church: Local Wine Project, showcasing local produce and regional wines.
As a working farm, The Folly Truffles is not open for casual visits and does not operate a farm shop. Bookings are essential. Visitors should arrange a tour or experience before arriving to ensure access to the property and availability of guides.
The Folly Truffles offers a unique opportunity to discover one of Australia’s most distinctive agricultural products while connecting with the people, produce and stories of the Granite Belt.
