Europe, but as of the Périgord's first harvest in 2019, it boasts a mix of both local and imported truffles.

A scientific achievement to savor. Festival goers can enjoy incredible delights prepared by chefs worldwide and wash it all down with Napa Valley wines. They can also attend classes and seminars designed to teach aspiring truffle farmers, gourmands, and foodies the best ways to cultivate, harvest, store, and cook truffles. While admittedly not an eat-local endeavor for most, this festival is a rare opportunity to learn about and partake in a harvest's fresh fruits at the beginning of the year, in the dead of winter. Some of the proceeds are donated to the local food bank too, so there are plenty of valid excuses to dare this season's travel headaches and indulge.
