Edible Gift Guide 2022
Our 14th Annual Edible Gift Guide is chock-full of wonderful gift ideas for everyone on your list this holiday season. Your patronage of these locally--owned businesses contributes to the vibrancy of our entire community, whether you shop in person or online from their websites for direct shipping to your lucky recipients, near and far.
If experiences are your recipients' thing (they are ours), we got you covered with unique insider farm tours offered by Food & between Food & Farm Tours, special tastings at our winery partners and memory- making staycations (think Seadrift at Stinson Beach, Dillon Beach Resort, Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa, Nick's Cove's cabins on the shores of Tomales Bay and mid-century modern "urban" getaways at Santa Rosa's Astro Motel)! Dining gift certificates from our restaurant partners (see the Eat Local Guide in this issue) are always huge hits with teachers, coaches, colleagues and, really, everyone on your list!
The support of our advertising partners makes the publication of Edible Marin & Wine Country possible, so you'll also be joining us in giving great thanks for the gift of this magazine!
