Mt. Washington Valley, NH— Country Inns in the White Mountains, a premier country inn association in New Hampshire, recently announced plans for their First Annual Inn to Inn “Spring Herb Tour” May 30 & 31, 2009. The theme of this year’s tour will be culinary herbs and guests at member inns that weekend, not only can tour all thirteen inns in the association, but will also receive a plethora of herb related goodies at each inn. Guests will get to sample the culinary use of thirteen different herbs and go home with a folder of recipes, interesting herbal lore, and herb seeds and plants of their own to grow.

Each inn will focus on a different culinary herb and provide guests with a sample of how that herb is used in cooking. In addition to samples of food, each inn will provide guests with a fact sheet on the history and uses of the herb they are featuring, recipes using that herb, and finally either a packet of seeds or a live plant, so guests can grow their own culinary herbs when they go home.

The Spring Herb Tour is available exclusively to those booking a two-night package at one of the 13 participating inn members of Country Inns in the White Mountains. Some inns will also be offering packages that include a special five-course, herb-themed dinner created by participating inns with restaurants.

Country Inns in the White Mountains is an association of premier B&Bs and Country inns located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In addition to outstanding breakfasts, the innkeepers provide true New England hospitality and a personal touch that makes your visit to a New Hampshire bed and breakfast or country inn unforgettable.
