Saturday, October 5th, 12:30 – 2:30 pm.
We invite you to join us for a lunch in the historic Fort Ross Orchard with chef Pete Coleman preparing a feast of seasonal fare and local wines.
Lunch will be served family style and advanced purchase is required. The luncheon price is $100 with $50 of each ticket going to our Fort Ross Education Fund to ensure that all students have access to quality outdoor education.
Please email Sarjan Holt at sarjanh@fortross.org or call the Fort Ross Conservancy office at 707/847-3437 to purchase your ticket.
The Gran Fondo Bike Race is taking place across Sonoma County on October 5th.
We recommend you avoid River Road between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. After 10:30 a.m. we recommend you take River Road to Jenner (do NOT take Highway 1 through Bodega Bay). Please check google maps before leaving. We suggest you stay at Fort Ross until at least 3:00 p.m. to avoid southbound traffic.
Please park in the main parking lot at Fort Ross State Historic Park and take the shuttle up to the orchard.
