The Annual Wild Mushroom Feast: When Is It Best to Visit?

Mendocino is home to incredible state parks and views, but during the first two weekends in November, it’s also the home of the Annual Wild Mushroom Feast. For fans of fresh mushrooms, epicurean cooking, and gourmet food, the Annual Wild Mushroom Feast is an event you don’t want to miss.

The Annual Wild Mushroom Feast begins November 1 and ends November 10, but you don’t want to miss the Annual Wild Mushroom and Winemaker Dinner at MacCallum House on November 8.

What can I expect at the Annual Wild Mushroom and Winemaker Dinner?

The 19th annual MacCallum House Restaurant Wild Mushroom and Winemaker Dinner is one of the Mushroom Feast Mendocino’s inaugural events. It takes place on Friday, November 8, and is an annual tradition.

Chef Alan Kantor brings out the best of the local Mendocino mushrooms in a five-course seasonal menu complete with expertly paired Graziano wine. To get an idea of the five-course seasonal menu that will be offered, here is the menu from the 2018 Annual Wild Mushroom and Winemaker Dinner.
