Fine Food and Wine Tasting on the River

"Wilderness is something other than our own." - Henry David Thoreau

This will be the best camp chow you've ever tasted. Many people believe river trips and outdoor adventure are synonymous with Spam, Beanee Weenees and white bread. For years, we at Far Flung have been saying that being outdoors doesn't mean you can't have the finest cuisine. To prove it, we are hosting our tenth annual "wine and dine" river trip.

Join us as we float through one of Big Bend's spectacular canyons where our guides will prepare fabulous meals while Greg Bruni, winemaker for Llano Estacado (pronounced yah-no), will talk about the varieties of wine we will enjoy.

This trip will resume in 2010. Call 800-839-7238 or email us for more info.

Day 1

Departure Day. We'll meet at the FFOC office in Study Butte at8:00 am to pack our gear and leave for the river. Our journey today takes us into true back-country wilderness. We'll stop along the way and enjoy a specially prepared river lunch. Our overnight camp will be setup in the canyon, so while you take the afternoon to hike, explore or just relax our staff will prepare a formal dinner. Wine of course, will be plentiful.

Day 2

This day finds us deeper in the canyon where the walls can rise up to 1500 feet. We'll stop for another gourmet river lunch before our take-out, mid-afternoon. Returning to our office in Terlingua, you'll have time to check back into your motel for showers before dinner. There are a number of good restaurants in the area, so ask our staff, and they will be happy to point you in the right direction.

About the Cooks:

Our guides are masters at preparing outdoor cuisine. From appetizers and salads to the main entrée, you will be amazed at what can come out of a wilderness kitchen. You won't be able to refuse our Dutch oven dessert creations!
