Pear Festival Annual Farm to Fork Dinner, Kelseyville

Pear orchards and vineyards bump up to the edges of the small country town Kelseyville, where Mount Konocti towers over Main Street and friendly locals chat on the sidewalks. Increasingly popular for its rolling vineyards, unpretentious wineries, mountain hikes, cold brews, and local eats, Kelseyville’s a small-town paradise. Grab your morning coffee at Studebakers, shop for local artisan goods at Maker, A+H General Store, and The Painted Bird Gallery, then walk down the street and taste at the relaxed Fore Family Vineyards.

Bring hiking boots and take the 6+ mile round trip to the 4,304 ft. peak of Mt. Konocti. Then be sure to save your energy to enjoy a drink at the historic Brick Tavern or some handcrafted ales and seltzers at Kelsey Creek Brewing, but don’t forget to make a reservation for a porch table at the Saw Shop Public House and watch farmers, growers and ranchers enjoying locally sourced foods.
