Inaugural Tour: 8-Day Cascadian Cuisine Ultimate Adventure

[Nan Devlin]

Experience the enticing flavors of the Pacific Northwest, a culinary utopia where talented farmers, chefs, winemakers, distillers and brewers are changing the landscape of how Americans eat, drink and live.  Taste for yourself why Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Food and Wine are celebrating Cascadian cuisine.

Seattle, Washington, May 1, 2012 - EverGreen Escapes

 

Seattle-based nature, adventure and culinary tour operator, EverGreen Escapes, announces the Cascadian Cuisine Ultimate Adventure, an exclusive experience through an epicurean landscape of the Northwest’s islands, valleys, mountains, farms, wineries, small towns and big cities.  You will forage, taste, cook and enjoy the bounty of this fertile landscape, and then burn energy hiking, cycling and kayaking with your expert naturalist guide, before relaxing in luxurious lodges, spas and resorts.

You’ll discover why The New York Times found Northwest cuisine to be a destination in itself:

“It is to experience something that even many larger, more gastronomically celebrated cities and regions can’t offer, not to this degree: a profound and exhilarating sense of place.”

Specially crafted by EverGreen Escapes to showcase Washington State’s unparalleled bounty, this all-inclusive adventure itinerary combines unique and exclusive activities with indulgent accommodations, exquisite dining and luxury transportation. From exclusive winery visits, to extraordinary meals, to in-depth education, we combine the flavorful bounty of this fertile region with the boundless activities that make Cascadia a food, wine and nature lover's utopia.

WHEN
Starting September 29, 2012, 8 days and 7 nights. Limited to groups of 10 travelers. Optional add-on: 3-day Oregon Bounty Experience.
