Lexington, Kentucky
The Future of Truffles in America
In the rolling bluegrass hills of Kentucky, at the heart of bourbon country, Sabatino is pioneering a bold new chapter in truffle cultivation. Our Lexington orchard — planted with more than 40,000 inoculated trees — is the largest initiative of its kind in the United States. It bridges centuries of European expertise with the energy and ambition of American agriculture.
This orchard is more than a farm; it is a destination. Here, the magic of European-style truffle hunting comes alive on American soil. Guests are invited to walk the groves with our Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, experiencing the thrill of discovery as truffles are unearthed just as they are in Italy and France. Every step, every scent, every find connects visitors with the wonder and complexity of truffle cultivation.
Our commitment to sustainability and innovation matches the scope of our vision. With thousands of trees already thriving and more being planted, the Lexington orchard is a long-term investment in agriculture, culinary excellence, and regional tourism. It is designed not only to produce truffles at scale, but also to inspire chefs, food lovers, and travelers with an immersive journey from orchard to table.
Kentucky’s rich soil, seasonal climate, and deep food heritage make it the perfect setting for this endeavor. Situated at the intersection of tradition and terroir, the Lexington orchard demonstrates how truffles can flourish in new lands without losing their soul. This is more than a farm. It is the future of truffles in America — a future we are proud to cultivate.
