WELCOME TO THE 2015 MENDOCINO COUNTY
CRAB, WINE & BEER FESTIVAL
I’m delighted to invite you to Mendocino County’s 16th
annual Crab, Wine & Beer Festival. Mendocino
County is home to fishermen who harvest delicious
Dungeness crab and to grape growers, winemakers,
and brewmasters who reap the bounty of the county to
produce fine wines and brews that pair exquisitely with
seafood. Held midway through the long winter months,
the 10-day countywide festival is an opportunity to
shrug off the winter blues and indulge in fine seafood, wine, and beer.
We create dozens of events for you to enjoy: family-style crab and cioppino
feeds, gourmet crab-themed dinners, crab and wine pairings, crab fishing
adventures, a Wine Competition showcasing local wines, and the ever
popular Crab Cake Cook-off that highlights the talents of our county’s chefs.
Participate in the Passport event for a delightful tasting experience and a
chance to win an amazing Mendocino County Prize Package!
The Calendar of Events is full of activities… it’s no wonder this festival was
named one of the Top 10 Seafood and Wine Festivals in the country by
Coastal Living magazine.
We look forward to seeing you in January 2015!
