Hops & Hike: Brew & Boletes

Are you a “fun-guy” or a “fun-gal”? Join us as we hike our way through The Grove, one brew at a time, and learn all about mushrooms in a casual learning experience for adults. Cozy up with a beverage by our campfire, indulge in some snacks, and enjoy a guided trail hike to discover the wonderful world of mushrooms. No foraging allowed at the Grove.
