9 a.m. |  East Bay Bean TourTake a tour with CUESA to Blue Bottle Coffee Co. and Hodo Soy Beanery, two East Bay businesses that have mastered the art of bean alchemy. James Freeman, owner of Blue Bottle, will lead a tour of his state-of-the art coffee roasting facility, show us how they create some of the Bay Area’s most coveted caffeinated concoctions, and share a freshly prepared coffee cupping. We’ll also take a tour of Hodo Soy’s new facility, where soybeans are transformed into luscious soy milk, tasty tofu and silky yuba (the thin sheets that rise to the top of warmed soymilk, known as tofu’s “sexy and elegant cousin” and often enjoyed like fine sashimi). There will be special treats at each stop and opportunities to get your burning questions answered. Our final stop will be the up-and-coming Jack London Market, where we will eat lunch made with farmers' market ingredients by CUESA's market chef and get a tour of this exciting new addition to the East Bay foodscape.The tour costs $25 and includes lunch. Participants can choose from two departure and return locations: the Ferry Building in San Francisco or the Lake Merritt BART station in Oakland. We will ride in a comfortable bus. Tickets are nonrefundable. Learn more and buy tickets here > |
