January to March

Toques & Truffes is an annual wine and food festival dedicated to the diamond of Quercy: the black truffle. An exploration of the beauty of this local, ephemeral and precious delicacy, paired with the great Malbec wines of the Vigouroux family.

Toques & Truffes is a gourmet and precious event that has been organised for 12 years by Christine Vigouroux, who works passionately to promote the local natural and gastronomic heritage.

More than a month of varied epicurean and immersive experiences centred around Tuber Melanosporum (the famous black truffle of Lalbenque) are on offer.

To bring this event to life, two venues emblematic of the Malbec art of living and dear to the Vigouroux family: Château de Haute-Serre, whose wine-grower's table is selected by the Michelin Guide, and Château de Mercuès, Relais & Châteaux, a 4-star hotel distinguished with a Michelin key and a gourmet restaurant.

More than a month of varied epicurean and immersive experiences centred around black truffles will be offered from Saturday 10 January to Tuesday 3 March 2026 (and from 23 February to 24 February at Château de Mercuès).

Toques & Truffes offers a range of activities: experiences and immersions in the world of truffles at the Vigouroux family's two Malbec estates: Château de Haute-Serre and Château de Mercuès.
