Second Annual Orinda Restaurant Tour to Launch September 29th

ORINDA, CA--(Marketwire - August 26, 2009) - San Francisco's East Bay area food lovers will again have the opportunity to join a fun, expeditionary culinary tour to savor and sample their way through Orinda restaurants, on Tuesday, September 29th. The Orinda Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Educational Foundation of Orinda (EFO), a non-profit organization committed to providing financial support for quality educational and enrichment programs for Orinda's public schools, today announced plans for the second annual Orinda Restaurant Tour. Last year's premier event was a sellout.

The event will take place from 5:00 to 8:30 p.m. Registration and hors d'oeuvres will be available at the Theatre Square shopping and entertainment complex from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The actual tour of the city's restaurants will be from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. with dessert following from 8:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Keith Miller, Orinda Chamber of Commerce president, labeled the event as the city's culinary expedition of the year, adding, "This is a great opportunity to support our schools and Orinda's fun restaurants!"

Each restaurant on the tour will provide a small portion that best represents the establishment at no cost to the event ticket holders. One glass of wine is included in the ticket price. The cost of an individual ticket will be $30 with EFO receiving $10 from every ticket sold. Tickets may be reserved in advance using a Visa or MasterCard at the Orinda Chamber of Commerce web site -- http://www.orindachamber.org/OrindaRestaurantTour2009.htm. Reservations will be limited to 250 ticket holders, so attendees are encouraged to reserve early. If available at the door, tickets at the night of the event will be $35.

The Chamber's goal is to delight all participants -- as they help Orinda's public schools and enjoy an evening of friendship, while discovering the savory surprises the great chefs of the charming town have to offer.
