Place Neuve comes alive for the big truffle craft market! Come and celebrate this local treasure on Friday 6 February from 5pm to 9pm, and on 7 and 8 February from 10am to 5pm, with lots of entertainment, workshops and tastings.
In 2026, Grimaud invites you on a unique sensory journey to the heart of one of Provence's most delicious traditions: the truffle festival!
A seasonal product par excellence, truffles hold an important place in the hearts of the people of the Var. They enhance the region's flagship products in the most delightful way. It is no coincidence that many of our restaurants feature them on their winter menus.
Immerse yourself in the captivating aromas of this black diamond of the terroir, a culinary treasure that delights the taste buds and embodies the soul of our region.
The Truffle Festival weekend will be a veritable festival of discoveries.
You will have the opportunity to meet passionate truffle producers, take part in truffle hunting demonstrations with truffle dogs, and savour a multitude of refined dishes, where the truffle, queen of flavours, is presented in all its forms. Local chefs will be delighted to reveal the secrets of this exceptional delicacy during tastings and culinary workshops.
The programme also includes entertainment for young and old, concerts and convivial moments to share a love of local produce.
Whether you are a food lover, curious to discover the world of truffles, or simply looking for a festive and gourmet outing with family or friends, Truffe en Fête is an event not to be missed!
Finally, throughout the weekend, you will have the opportunity to taste the precious truffle during lunches and dinners prepared by Grimaud's restaurateurs... Participating restaurants, menus and prices can be found on site or on our website.
Join us for an unforgettable weekend, where the Provençal art of living blends with the magic of truffles. A celebration that will leave you with memories that will delight your taste buds and put stars in your eyes.
