Black Walnut & Truffle Manhattan

Truffle cocktail? "Why not?!" says Brittany, our talented front-of-house manager and the creative mind behind Trellis’ signature drinks. Recently featured in 1859 Oregon Magazine by Kerry Newberry, the Black Walnut & Truffle Manhattan is an exquisite blend of bold and earthy flavors that highlight Oregon’s locally foraged truffles. Brittany describes it as "a refined and indulgent experience crafted to elevate your palate!" It’s the perfect way to celebrate Truffle Month in the heart of Oregon’s Wine Country.

A Decadent Take on a Classic

The Manhattan is a timeless favorite, but this version offers a truly unique twist. Woodford Reserve Rye provides a rich foundation, complemented by the smooth depth of sweet vermouth. Black walnut bitters and aromatic truffle oil add layers of complexity, while fresh truffle shavings and a black Amarena cherry create a sophisticated finish. This cocktail is more than just a drink—it’s a tribute to Oregon’s renowned truffle season and its rich culinary traditions.

Make Dundee Your Next Truffle Destination

Don’t stop at just the cocktail—turn it into a full getaway by visiting Dundee, one of Oregon’s most picturesque wine country towns. Stay at the charming The Dundee Hotel, where the concierge can plan a personalized itinerary for you. Enjoy vineyard tours, wine tastings, and even a guided truffle hunting adventure. Dundee offers the perfect escape for those looking to savor world-class wines, breathtaking views, and outstanding regional cuisine.
