November 5 – 15, 2010 – Mendocino County Wine & Mushroom Fest named one of the Top Six Food Fests in the nation by Oprah.com!
Mendocino County is home to more than 3,000 mushroom varieties – including the rare candy cap mushroom with its intense maple syrup flavor and sweet fragrance that grows only along the northern coast of California. With mushroom dinners, wine- and beer-pairing workshops, cooking classes, musical performances, exhibits, guided mushroom foraging there is something for everyone during this magical season of mushrooms. Events will take place throughout the County, from the coast to the inland valleys.
No visitor who sees the village of Mendocino rising out of the mists in the morning can remain immune to her charms for long. This quaint town is unique in all of Northern California, perhaps in all the world. Many compare the charms of Mendocino to a New England sea coast hamlet but few places on earth can boast the rare combination of scenic beauty, artistic flare, exquisite cuisine, world class shopping, and friendly locals found here.
