The Growers Workshop
Designed for both aspiring truffle growers and those with established orchards, our workshops provide a practical, science-based approach to successful truffle cultivation.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to improve an existing truffière, we offer clear guidance, real-world insights, and proven techniques drawn from years of hands-on experience.
Truffle cultivation workshops at Virginia Truffles are offered exclusively from April through August. Tickets for each workshop season are released in March, and availability is intentionally limited to allow for a more personalized educational experience.
Our workshops provide a detailed curriculum leveraging the latest in truffle science and technology.
The 2-hour program includes a thorough technical presentation that delves into the basics of truffles, their science, the benefits of cultivating them, and our time-tested techniques developed through years of experience.
Participants will also have the opportunity to tour the farm and truffière at Virginia Truffles, gaining firsthand insight into practical truffle cultivation.
