Every fall and winter, the Willamette Valley celebrates one of our most cherished delicacies: the Oregon truffle.
These mushroom-like fungi grow underground in the root systems of Douglas fir trees throughout the region and inspire fervent truffle hunting around Oregon every winter. You can find local outfitters offering guided foraging trips and private lunches with some of the Willamette Valley's top chefs, and numerous events—including the Oregon Truffle Festival—showcase the flavorful fungi.
