A Food-Lovers Weekend in Friday Harbor
Treat yourself to a harvest getaway on San Juan Island this Fall. Go dessert and wine bar hopping on Art Walk Friday. Taste the isle’s bounty from land and sea at a farm-to-table dinner. Slurp the plumpest oysters right on the seafood farm. Walk to island-grown brunch after sleeping in and getting a soothing massage at our onsite Spa. Nourish your body and soul San Juan Island style with these delightful gustatory experiences:
Secret Outdoor Wine Garden Brunch
Madrone Cellars, a hidden gem across the street from our sister hotel, the Bird Rock, offers outstanding local wine, island-grown tapas, live music, comedians and on Saturday mornings: gluten-free waffle brunch with Mimosas.
Psst: Add a wine tasting for two right when you make your room reservation with us!
Fall Farmers Market
Meander San Juan Island’s Saturday Farmer’s Market in the heart of Friday Harbor. Snack on warm pastries, fresh paella or authentic Mexican street food while browsing island-made food-lover’s gifts like flavored San Juan Sea Salt, hand-blended tea, local wine, jams, cheeses, seafood and more.
Psst: Pick up a colorful fall bouquet of flowers for your room, along with an adorable, hand-made vase from a local potter.
Themed Farm-to-Table Dinner
Take a culinary journey through the San Juans and enjoy a nightly, four-course, seasonal tasting menu at comfy COHO Restaurant. At COHO everything, from bread to sauces, is made from scratch from local, seasonal ingredients.
Psst: COHO is open on all major holidays. Leave the cooking to their amazing team and the lodging to us for this year’s family gathering?
Oyster & Caviar Happy Hour on the Waterfront
Stroll down to the water and taste the island at OysterTale, featuring local oysters, quail, escargot, caviar and other treasures from the sea, alongside a robust wine list, classic cocktails and a dessert menu to die for.
