Each autumn the Confrérie de la Truffe de Bourgogne de Noyers holds its truffle market on the Place du Marché au Blé. It is described as the largest market in Burgundy devoted to Tuber uncinatum, the Burgundy truffle, and the sale is part market, part village theatre. Winegrowers and local producers sell Burgundian specialities alongside. ## Key facts - Type: Food & markets - Noyers - 1 h 30 from Beaune - Free entry - When: An autumn Sunday, usually in late October, sometimes followed by a second market in November.

Before any truffle can be sold, commissioners check each one with a small knife, cutting into it to make sure it is firm and free of mould or worms. The harvest varies widely from year to year. In October 2025, 13.6 kg of truffles were sold, and the second market planned for 30 November was cancelled because too few good truffles had been found. ## What to expect Each market has a patron, a figure from local or national life, who opens the sale by ringing a cowbell, the clarine. What follows is a joyful scramble for the best truffles. Around the sale there are inductions into the brotherhood, truffle-hunting demonstrations, a giant truffle omelette and stalls of wine and Burgundian produce. ## Tips for the day The brotherhood fixes the dates each autumn according to the harvest, so check with them before planning a trip, and arrive early if you want to buy. Noyers is about 1 hour 30 minutes from Beaune and 25 minutes from Chablis; with a driver you can pair the market with a Chablis tasting. ## Did you know? In 2025 the whole stock of truffles sold out in less than an hour after the bell rang. ## Around Marché aux truffes de Noyers What to combine with Marché aux truffes de Noyers on the same day, nearest first. ### Other events in October 2026 - **Friday 9 – Sunday 11 October 2026 (Confirmed by the organiser)** · [Championnat du monde de l’œuf en meurette](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/championnat-monde-oeuf-en-meurette): Chefs from around the world compete to poach Burgundy's favourite egg dish at the Clos de Vougeot.
