Descend to Sheffield, 'Town of Murals', for a driver change before winding along Paradise Rd to the Mersey River, where the Great Western Tiers rise like ancient sentinels over the Meander Valley. 2:00pm, 196.4km: Visit the home of Australia's first black truffle, The Truffle Farm Tasmania. Enjoy a gourmet lunch within the trufferie, featuring freshly harvested truffles and produce grown from the farm.

Goosebumps guaranteed. 6:00pm, 300.0km: Cruise through the historic towns of Westbury, Hagley and Carrick, returning to Peppers Silo Launceston as the sun sets over the Tamar River.

Is the driving experience designed for 1 driver or 2 drivers?

This event is designed for couples or pairs and it is important that both guests share the drive throughout the day. Driving multiple supercars, back to back, though the mountains requires a high level of concentration and driver fatigue may result if just one person drives for the complete duration of the 300km journey. We encourage everyone to share the drive, even if it's just a little bit, and we will provide guidance on whether the road ahead is challenging or relatively easy.

Is the driving experience weather dependant and should I book flexible airfares and accommodation?

In the interests of safety and your driving pleasure, our luxury driving experiences are held ONLY when roads are dry. We have carefully selected February/March to minimise the risk of wet weather affecting your experience. Late summer and early-Autumn is usually one of the most stable times of year and spectacularly sunny. We will contact you if we are concerned about the weather forecast leading up to your event, we usually aim to provide at least 24-48 hours' notice to minimise any potential inconvenience and will work with you to re-schedule to the next best day. Please ensure that to book airfares and accommodation with flexible fares or cancellation policies just in case!

Why are only Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday dates available to book?

Please note events are limited to three days per week (i.e. Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday), to allow for wet weather contingency. That is, should a scheduled date be affected by rain or wet-weather, we may re-schedule the experience to the following day.

Do I need to be comfortable being around dogs at The Truffle Farm Tasmania?

Truffle dogs play an integral part in the experience at The Truffle Farm Tasmania. The dogs, Doug, Poppy and Peggy are all highly trained, extremely friendly and well-behaved dogs, however you will need to be comfortable around them.

What type of clothes should I wear and bring to Tasmania?

The weather is normally spectacular during late summer and early Autumn in Tassie, however we recommend being prepared for temperature fluctuations and wind. Warm layers, including a light jacket and fully enclosed, flat-soled shoes are essential and we kindly ask guests to not wear jeans, denim clothing, jewellery or anything that can scratch or damage leather upholstery.

Which Australian cities have direct flights into Launceston?

Launceston is easily accessible with direct flights, often daily from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth.
