Thanks to the Association “1ère Région Truffière de Suisse” and the Compagnons de la Truffe Vaudoise, the First Educational Truffle Orchard in Europe was created.
An idyllic location at the foot of the Bonvillars vineyards, 14 km from Yverdon-les-Bains, this 6,000 m² plot overlooks Lake Neuchâtel.
The orchard includes 12 tree species and more than 240 trees, planted in 2016 after being mycorrhized.
The visit is led by a truffle cultivation expert, member of one of the truffle associations and your reference person for all questions about this fascinating and mysterious fungus.
The tour lasts approximately two hours and concludes with a light refreshment served near the orchard, featuring selected local products.
