Our mushroom foraging 101 tour was an absolute blast! They made learning super fun, packing the class with practical, hands-on knowledge to kickstart our foraging journey. The group had such a great time in the woods that no one wanted to leave when the class ended.

Where do I begin? This tour went above and beyond my expectations! Booked it as a birthday gift based on online reviews, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The crew not only ran a well-organized operation but also made it a fun and personal experience. We left not only with a bounty of mushrooms but also with newfound connections and a deeper appreciation for the beautiful terroir.
