Quick Details
This is a private version of either our Foraging Tour or Wild Food Stroll, which we can customize for your group.
Note that the stroll takes place at an in-town resort, includes only one restaurant option (currently unavailable due to COVID-19), and does not include a cooking demo/tasting or harvesting of wild foods. For more info, see here.
Tours are suitable for all ages and abilities. If your party is less than six people, a private tour is usually only preferable if you are already at an intermediate level or are unable to join a public tour. Otherwise, a larger group tends to make for a livelier tour — plus we find more!
Wild Food Stroll (1.5 hours), $40/adult, $15/child; $240 minimum
Foraging Tour (3 hours): $75/adult, $35/child; $450 minimum
Child prices are for age 5-11; children under 5 are free.
How strenuous are the tours?
We walk no more than half a mile on flat ground, stopping frequently.
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are welcome, with notice, on our private tours. If you would like to bring your dog, you must let us know when you submit your tour request.
Does the tour include a meal?
No. The three-hour tour includes a small tasting and an appetizer featuring your finds with lunch or dinner at a local restaurant. For more info, see here.
