Join Slow Food Russian River for a Tour of Mycopia Gourmet Mushrooms and Merry Edwards Winery
On Tuesday, November 17, SFRR will host a Tasting and Tour featuring both Mycopia Gourmet Mushrooms and Merry Edwards Winery.
Mycopia Gourmet Mushrooms – Mycopia rarely offers public tours, but has offered to give us a peek at their groundbreaking system of exotic mushroom cultivation utilizing reusable jars. Their mushrooms have been certified organic and kosher since 2005.
Merry Edwards – Merry Edwards Winery was founded in 1997 with a focus on locally sourced and estate grown Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
The winery uses Mycopia’s mushroom substrate as compost in their vineyards, and is focused on building healthy soils and sustainable ecosystems to improve the quality of their wine while respecting land and community.
The Tours – These two agricultural trailblazers have shared a property on Gravenstein Highway just south of Graton since 2001, and because they are so close you will be able to walk from one to the other for a stimulating view of two local industry leaders.
Your visit to Merry Edwards will include a discussion about winery and vineyard operations and a sampling of their Russian River Valley wines. The wine tasting will be accompanied by tasty mushroom-inspired pairings from Khom Loi of Sebastopol.
Logistics – The Merry Edwards presentation will be outside, weather permitting, so please dress accordingly. Appetizers will be served with wine at Merry Edwards Winery, but lunch is not included.
