Great sandwiches, drinks, and sides for your hiking picnic. Call ahead for faster pickup service or dine outside in the beer garden at one of their picnic tables. Sometimes they have live music. Beer & wine served. Our favorite sandwich is the salmon BLT but you have to ask for it, as it’s not always on the menu.

Gorgeous views and an interesting collection of wines. The owners are from Lebanon and have brought Lebanese flair to the county. They even sell olive oil from the family's olive trees back home. Take a walk on their trail and say hello to the sheep and rolling creek.
