We were staying in the Vaucluse area in France and heard there was a truffle hunt in Cadernet. So we went online and booked. The hunt started at 6pm. As we approached the property we were met by a young man in a farmer hat and checked shirt waving us into his drive. The next thing we saw was a charming woman smartly attired in a black dress. This pair turned out to be Lisa and Johan the owners of Les Pastras. We immediately felt comfortable and welcomed with a refreshing drink of ice water. Once the truffle hunter arrived with his dogs we took off. The area was very close to the house and Johan gave a good overview of truffles and their propagation. The dogs performed well and in a very short time we had 155 grams of summer truffle. After the dogs and hunter left Johan showed us other aspects of his property including old grape vines and new olive grove. Lisa prepared some lovely tastings of the truffles prepared a few different ways and we all drank some lovely bubbly. In all it was a good couple of hours of education and friendship with a delightful young couple working hard to make their mark in this fabulous area of France.

Our family of 6 adults recently visited Johan and Lisa at their farm outside Cadenet, a little difficult to map, but we found it, part of the fun! We toured the farm with Johan, his friend and the cutest truffle dogs, mom Pouspous and Mirabelle, daughter. Lisa was busy preparing delicious simple small bites to savor the flavors of truffles and their olive oils. Did I forget the champagne! We had a lot of fun selecting our adoptive olive tree and enjoying the company of our hosts. They even recommended a restaurand in Loumarin and made reservations for us. Yes, I would endorse this experience.

Tourism experiences are often touted as authentic yet the reality can be very different. Not so the truffle hunting at Les Pastras - what a fabulous Provençal experience that is fun, educational and delicious! Johann and Lisa's passion for what they are doing shines through in both the guided tour and the beautifully presented tasting plates we enjoyed with several glasses of champagne after the tour (it's so hard to stop after one...) Not only did we learn about truffffles and go-a-hunting with the dogs but Johann also gave us a run down on the other produce being grown on the farm - olive groves, organic wine and honey to name a few. They are both great hosts and the whole experience felt like an afternoon spent with friends in a beautiful rural setting, sharing stories with some great food and champagne. Make sure to buy some of the truffle oil for sale, it is delicious and proceeds go a nominated charity in Haiti which is a great initiative. I will also be adopting a truffle bearing oak tree and waiting for my annual trove of truffles!

If you travel to Provence, this truffle hunting tour should not be missed! My husband and I had a really fun and great time at Les Pastras. It was really fun to see the dogs hunting the truffles and we had a wonderful walk around. The tour ended with an excellent truffle tasting session (much better than the famous truffle restaurant we went) in a cozy place. We adopted a truffle tree at Les Pastras and can't wait to receive our winter truffle later!!!!

My husband and I (both truffle lovers, now even more so!) had a wonderful time with Johann and Lisa at Les Pastras. We not only found our fair share of truffles, but the experience was truly brought to life by learning more about the way they are grown, getting a full tour of the farm and spending some time chatting (and sipping and tasting!) with Lisa and Johann. What a nice couple. We felt like we were old friends catching up (we're only slightly jealous that they get to stay there and live on the farm full time!) Thanks for a wonderful evening - we won't forget it!
