Our truffle harvest (for tuber melanosporum) lasts from late November through the end of February. The heaviest period is January and February thus we plan our events accordingly.

We grow the black winter Périgord truffle. It’s incredibly elusive and we are the first successful growers on the Central California Coast and one of a handful nationally.

We are working on it! We currently work with The Truffle Dog Co. for our truffle hunting. We are in the process of getting our own truffle dog(s).

Caelesta was born out of the family’s passion for growing the best grapes and making the best wine showcasing the Templeton Gap terroire. It was news to everyone that our site was also prime for truffles based on our soils and microclimate. We make wine to be had with food (ideally, drinking for fun sans food also welcomed) so truffles were a natural fit.

We sell to Michelin star restaurants such as Six Test Kitchen and Bell’s in Los Alamos in addition to wine club members. You may see our truffles at local Paso restaurants such as La Biga, Gravesend, and Junction as well as select restaurants up and down the state.

Join the wine club or shoot an email to hello@caelesta.com if you are a chef/restaurant.
