Winter in Oberon is an exciting destination for food lovers. A cool climate with crisp country air and some of the nation’s finest truffles combine to create a memorable gourmet getaway.
If you’re planning a visit, Highlands Motor Inn is the perfect base for exploring Oberon’s unique truffle experiences.
Experience the Magic of a Truffle Hunt
Just a short drive from Highlands Motor Inn, RedGround Australia is a family-owned truffle farm operated by Jill and Neil O’Grady. Their passion for truffle growing and sharing the experience with visitors has made them one of Oberon’s must-visit attractions.
RedGround is the only truffière in New South Wales growing four culinary truffle varieties. This allows them to offer truffle experiences throughout the year, giving visitors more opportunities for truffle experiences beyond the traditional winter season.
During winter, guests can join their popular Truffle Hunt, Touch & Taste Immersion Experience. Accompanied by specially trained truffle dogs, you’ll search for fresh black truffles hidden beneath the soil before enjoying a guided tasting featuring truffles harvested that very day. It’s a hands-on experience where you’ll learn directly from the growers about how truffles are cultivated, harvested and prepared.
RedGround welcomes visitors from across Australia and around the world, with many making the journey to Oberon specifically for this unforgettable experience. Their outstanding Google and TripAdvisor reviews speak for themselves.
Be sure to visit the RedGround Australia website for current tour dates, seasonal experiences and bookings.
Enjoy Local Truffle Dining
After your truffle hunt, continue your culinary adventure at The Milbrey Kitchen & Store. Located on the main street of Oberon, it’s a short 200m stroll around the corner from our motel.
The Milbrey regularly features specials throughout winter using fresh RedGround truffles, creating delicious dishes that showcase the incredible flavour of this local delicacy.
At the front of the cafe you’ll also find a storefront filled with local produce and gifts, including locally made truffle products such as mustards, salt, oils and honey.
On 1 August 2026 The Milbrey is partnering with RedGround Australia to present a special dining event celebrating the region’s truffles. This seasonal dinner is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy expertly delicious meals highlighting Oberon’s premium local truffles.
