Inn-to-Inn Spring Herb Tour
June 4 & 5, 2011
Join us for the third annual Inn-to-Inn Spring Herb Tour and learn all about the culinary uses of fresh herbs from innkeepers who use them daily. Each of the dozen inns on the Tour features a different fresh herb (this year Riverbend focuses on coriander/cilantro) and offers samples of a recipe created using the herb (from tomato basil soup to chive biscuits, tarragon chicken salad to rosemary-lemon shortbreads). You’ll take home lots of herbal lore, a notebook of new recipes and plants or seeds to expand your own herb garden. Packages include lodging, full breakfasts featuring fresh herbs, and tickets to the two day Spring Herb Tour. Half of the inns will be open from 11am to 4pm on Saturday, June 4 and the other half open 11am – 4pm on Sunday, June 5. One night packages from $125 and two night packages from $219.

Chocorua
by Canoe
Less than a mile from Riverbend Inn is one of New England's most picturesque bodies of water, Lake Chocorua. No motorized boats are allowed on the lake or its adjoining cousin, Little Lake, so a kayak or canoe is the perfect way to experience the sounds and rhythms of nature. Picnic and swim at sandy beaches, explore flora and fauna (listen for the loons), or dangle your feet in the water and read a book in the sun. Another great option is to paddle down the Bearcamp River to Lake Ossipee. A leisurely four-hour journey takes you nearly eight miles along a very scenic waterway. Sit back, enjoy the peace and quiet and let the current carry you. Choose either option and treat yourself to a very special day! Our package includes canoe or kayak rental plus pickup and delivery, from $35. May to October. |
