Visit Mendocino County (VMC), the consumer-facing arm of the Mendocino County Tourism Commission, is pleased to announce this year’s countywide Mushroom Wine & Beer Festival will take place November 3 through 12.  While mushrooms, wine and beer will remain vital components, 2017’s festival will add new themes to this longstanding event:  Foraging of Wild Edibles (such as seaweeds, nettles, and nuts) and Fermentation (from cheeses to kombucha to cider and beyond).  The festival name and logo will stay the same, but the offerings will be broader and more exciting than before.

The 2017 Mushroom Wine & Beer Festival brochure has gone to print and copies should be available for in-county distribution soon! If you didn’t get your event or special together in time to be included in the brochure, it’s no too late to submit something for the website.
