Slow Food Journeys

Please Join Us on one of the Slow Food Journeys to visit members of Marin Organic. These tours were produced by Marin Organic, in collaboration with Marin Agricultural Land Trust and Slow Food Marin. Additional support by Slow Food Nation. Please click on the links below to read descriptions and to purchase tickets.

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most important regions in America for sustainable food and wine, with one of the nation’s largest concentrations of Slow Food members. Slow Food Journeys will show you the best of this region, on one-day trips hosted by local Slow Food convivia. Each of these convivia have used their personal contacts to create one-of-a-kind visits to local fisheries, wineries, ranches and farms. You will enjoy Slow Food style food, wine and education, and most importantly, Slow Food conviviality. Additional Slow Journeys are being organized; check back soon for more details.
