Description

The Steinbeck House celebrates 50 years! 

This Queen Anne style Victorian was the birthplace and boyhood home of author John Steinbeck. Built in Salinas in 1897, the Steinbeck family moved into the house in 1900.

The Valley Guild was formed by eight enthusiastic women who shared a common interest in gourmet cooking and wanted to showcase Salinas Valley produce. The volunteers of Valley Guild purchased and renovated the house. 

It was opened to the public as a restaurant on February 27, 1974. The doors opened with a vision, and the vision continues. 

Join us in celebration of this significant 50-year milestone with a ribbon cutting ceremony and an open house/Tour to follow after. RSVP today!
