Travel Tip

Think about packing clothes and footwear for the weather, notebook, sketch book, camera, rainhat or umbrella if desired. You'll find people in the Pacific North West typically don't really wear raincoats.

All of our Gourmet Travel Garden Tours are walking tours, and include a lovely hand prepared "Pret A Porter" lunch from the Auberge de Seattle cuisine. We'll set up a picnic lunch for you on a wood foldout picnic table with chairs.

Tours typically depart from L'Auberge de Seattle Inn at 10:00 am. These tours are for our guests and vary from 4 to 7 hours. Your tour guides have an unquenchable passion for the beauty of the garden, revealed through innovative designs and cutting edge plants.

Some of these gardens require an advance phone reservation and allow only a limited number of visitors per day. With the busy summer season fast approaching, we suggest you make your reservation for the Gourmet Garden Walks way in advance.
