About Us

Growing up, all of Erin’s summers were spent in Avalon – her family has been visiting and/or living on Catalina Island since the 1920s. In 2003, Erin and her family moved to the island full time when they purchased the Catalina Coffee & Cookie Co. Working in the coffee house along with a prestigious bed & breakfast (the former Wrigley mansion), our head foodie found a passion for supporting local businesses and sharing Catalina history. She thought the departure of her two oldest sons to college would be the perfect time to explore a new avenue.

Creating the only Food Tour offered in Avalon has been a mouthwatering adventure! Erin has since produced new tour offerings and developed fresh ways to highlight local eateries and drinking establishments while building an amazing team that looks forward to hosting you on Catalina Island.

Paul has been in the restaurant & hospitality business for over 15 years. When not providing fun & high energy tours, he teaches hospitality & career technology classes at our local high school.

Janet’s love of Catalina spans several decades and her passion for experiencing communities through food is evident when you join her on tour. She can’t wait to help you book your island foodie event.

Sherri Walker Cline has been writing about Catalina Island for more than two decades. We put this avid traveler’s skills to work on our website, blog and newsletter program.

Amy Nguyen loves all things social & Catalina. She’s had a special focus on our community for 7+ years, and keeps our followers engaged while sharing, tweeting, & posting about her love of the island.

Lisa moved to the island just before she started kindergarten. Her knowledge of Catalina, love of local eateries & passion for writing made her the perfect addition to our team.
