LA Times praises Half Moon Bay as key foodie destination

We all enjoy good food, but finding excellent eats on the road can be challenging. Thankfully, Half Moon Bay combines the allure of its seaside location and a plethora of dining establishments that are sure to meet your needs. There is also that rare instance when hotels collaborate with restaurants in presenting the best of both worlds. The L.A. Times recommends the Half Moon Bay Ritz-Carlton for lovers of fine wine, good beer and great food.

Hungry for a change of pace? Eat, drink and indulge your need to escape during a foodie weekend, a tasty trend sweeping the hotel industry.

You can compare flights of wine, learn how to make sushi or whip up a classic French dessert. Then retreat to the hotel pool, spa or tennis court for alternative forms of recreation. It’s all part of your weekend itinerary.

The events, most of which are at high-end hotels, focus on food lovers who aren’t content with simply dining at expensive restaurants. They’re looking for an authentic experience and pointers that will make them more knowledgeable diners.

Study fine wines at the Eno-versity at the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, on the first Saturday of each month. “It’s an opportunity to focus in depth on a specific wine region around the world or locally here in California,” said Ian Cauble, the hotel’s lead sommelier.
