Virtual Savor the San Juans

If COVID-19 is teaching us anything, it’s a reminder of the importance to stop and savor the moment. In the San Juan Islands, we’ve been doing just that every fall for the last 12 years with “Savor the San Juans” – an opportunity to celebrate the food, farms, and films in the archipelago. This year COVID has changed the way we do things, so you can Savor the San Juans from home. The first week (Oct. 5, 7, & 9) is Farm Tour week with glimpses behind the barn doors of Pebble Cove Farm, OrcaSong Farm, and Buck Bay Shellfish Farm. The second week (Oct. 12, 14, &16) is Fall Baking week, with recipes and cooking classes from Otters Pond B&B and Tucker House B&B. The third week (Oct. 19, 21, & 23) is Fall Cooking Week, with a how-to from Westcott Bay Shellfish Farm and a few more folks TBD. And the final week (Oct. 26, 28, & 30) is Wine Tasting Week, with Doe Bay Wine Company, Lopez Vineyards, and Madrone Cellars & Ciders. Times are TBD.
