Savor the glories of spring in the White Mountains with our annual event, the Spring Herb Tour. Visit 10 premier inns in the White Mountains and learn all about fresh herbs-- their uses, history, and versatility.

Each inn chooses one herb and offers delicious samples of a special recipe using the herb from their own kitchen garden. It might be a taste of tomato basil soup, carrot-chervil dip, sage biscuits, tarragon egg salad, or rosemary chocolate cookies. You’ll go home with a folder of new recipes, interesting herbal lore and pots of herbs or seeds to grow your own.
