Item Description

 

Explore Point Reyes National Seashore and the surrounding community like a local with this fabulous get-a-way for two. Point Reyes National Seashore Association is proud to partner with our friends at the Bear Valley Inn and West Marin Food & Farm Tours to help you get away and indulge your inner locavore.  

Kick off your three-day, two-night adventure by checking into the Hummingbird Cottage at the historic Bear Valley Inn, a truly local experience! This charming inn is a green certified business and is a perfect launching spot for exploring Point Reyes National Seashore by foot or bike. Built in 1910, the B&B is surrounded by 150 miles of beautiful trails just waiting for your exploration. The main visitor center at Bear Valley is within walking distance, and the beautiful secluded beaches are an easy 15-minute drive away. Your private cottage will provide you with that home away from home feeling, where you can relax and enjoy the benefits of country living. This unit has a full kitchen for your use and is stocked with complimentary coffee, tea, cream, milk, granola and yogurt.  Owners Amanda and Ken Eichstaedt would be delighted to give you the local scoop on what’s happening, what not to miss and more.

Your trip also includes a local culinary tour, locavore picnic and a look at seven gourmet hot-spots for two with chef and local insider, Elizabeth Hill of West Marin Food & Farm Tours. You and your guest will indulge your senses in the Flavors of West Marin, a behind-the-scenes tour of West Marin’s best offerings including wine, cheese, breads, pastries, organic produce, grass-fed meats, and oysters.

I’ve done several tasting tours in various places but this has got to be the best one.  Elizabeth is a wonderful guide, who keeps your belly and glasses full and mind engaged.  Everything she selected was absolutely delicious, and you felt like a VIP where ever you went, which clearly reflects the wonderful relationship Elizabeth maintains with the various purveyors in the area. – Yoorah L.

Featured businesses may include: Cowgirl Creamery, Brickmaiden Breads, Bovine Bakery, Marin Sun Farms, Table Top Farm, Heidrun Meadery, Point Reyes Vineyards, and Hog Island Oyster Company. This intimate look into the local food scene also includes transportation, a printed tour guide, a delicious locavore picnic, and Food & Farm tote bag and magnet.

This the perfect get-a-way for two, a special gift for a couple in your life or for visiting relatives. Go local, bid today!
