Franklin Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437 www.visitmendocino.com | 1.866.466.3636 WELCOME TO THE 2014 MENDOCINO COUNTY MUSHROOM, WINE & BEER FESTIVAL As President and CEO of Visit Mendocino County, I’m delighted to invite you to join us for our annual 10day Mushroom, Wine & Beer Festival. Each year in late October, as the first rains start to fall, mushrooms flourish in abundance in Mendocino County, which is home to over 3,000 types of mushrooms. It’s the perfect place to sample and pick some of the 500 types of delicious edible mushrooms, such as chanterelles, porcinis, morels, hedgehogs, and even the extremely rare candy cap mushroom, a culinary treat with an intense maple syrup flavor, which grows only along the northern coast of California (and makes for delicious ice cream!). We craft an abundance of events for your delight: mushroom, winemaker, and brewmaster dinners, mushroom exhibits, guided mushroom forays, bike, kayak and equine adventures, wine and mushroom pairings, and much more! Hunt for the biggest mushroom you can find and enter the Mighty Mushroom Contest. You can also visit wineries and breweries along the way to get your Passport stamped for a chance to win the grand prize package! Take your time to discover all that Mendocino County has to offer: gourmet restaurants, unique inns, picturesque villages, friendly wineries, outstanding breweries, majestic redwoods, and a rugged seaside. Climb aboard the Mushroom, Wine & Beer Train, indulge yourself with a gourmet mushroom feast at an amazing winemaker or brewmaster dinner, then cozy up by the fire at the end of your perfect day in one of Mendocino County’s inns or B&Bs. Rest up so you can start the next day with an art class, join a foraging adventure, attend a performance, visit our numerous galleries, or simply relax and do nothing at all. We look forward to seeing you in November! Scott Schneider President & CEO, Visit Mendocino County, Inc. Events take place throughout the County, from the inland valleys to the coast.
