Breakfast, lunch, and tastings included in today's program.
After breakfast at the hotel, meet your cheese tour leader, Alexandra, board your touring vehicle, and cross the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County.
Marin French Cheese. Operating since 1865, it is America’s oldest cheese company. Tour the creamery and taste their handcrafted, soft-ripened, French-inspired cheeses, including the bloomy-rind Brie and Camembert-style cheeses that put this place on the map.
Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese. Walk the farm, meet the calves, and see the garden and the maternity barns. Then settle onto “The Fork” patio overlooking the garden for a tasting of seven or more award-winning cheeses, spreads, and pairings.
Hog Island Oyster Co. Lunch on the shores of Tomales Bay, one of California’s great oyster-growing regions. Begin with an oyster tasting, then order whatever you like from the menu. Drinks are available for purchase.
In the afternoon, travel to Sonoma Hotel, a historic boutique hotel right on Sonoma Plaza. Explore the parks, boutique shops, tasting rooms, and restaurants on foot at your own pace this evening.
