First Annual Orinda Restaurant Tour to Launch September 30th

ORINDA, CA, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
San Francisco's East Bay area food lovers will have the opportunity to
join a fun, expeditionary culinary tour to savor and sample their way
through Orinda restaurants, on Tuesday, September 30th. 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, and The City of Orinda today announced plans for the
first annual Orinda Restaurant Tour.

The inaugural 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 to 8:00 p.m., followed by dessert, coffee
and a raffle at Theatre Square from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m. A free shuttle
service along the restaurant route will be provided for ticket holders.

Carlos Rangel, owner of Orinda's Shelby's Restaurant, labeled the event as
the city's culinary expedition of the year, adding, "This is a great
opportunity to promote what we are all about!"

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 --
www.OrindaChamber.org/OrindaRestaurantTour.htm. Reservations will be
limited to 300 ticket holders, so attendees are encouraged to reserve
early.

The Chamber's goal is to delight more than 250 participants -- as they
enjoy an evening of friendship, and discover the savory surprises the
great chefs of the charming town have to offer.
