Join us for The Original Mindful Food Tour!

This is a food tour that takes you far beyond just “tasting.”

Discover Pacific Grove’s wild beauty as we connect deeply with ourselves, each other and the world around. During this connection, we’ll share food, stories, and new experiences.

In this three-hour tour, you’ll have the chance to see what makes Pacific Grove so special as you relax into the joy of mindful presence — with an emphasis on locally sourced foods and wines, of course.
