Tiles and Tastes
Mill Valley Golf Clubhouse
(paused for Summer)
The "Tiles and Tastes" is open to the community — a welcoming space for those who love the joy of food and the camaraderie of playing Chinese Mahjong.
We are proud to partner with the Mill Valley Recreation Center, with gatherings hosted in the beautiful Mill Valley Golf Clubhouse, where we meet monthly to share a communal meal, and, of course, enjoy a few lively rounds at the Mahjong table.
Each gathering we'll have a sign up for potluck dishes and help with set up and breakdown. Together, we create a family-style feast, share recipes, and then gather for Mahjong — because nothing pairs better with food than the clack of tiles!
“Tiles & Tastes” blends the joy of cooking with the connection of Mahjong. It’s a space where community thrives, stories are shared, and bonds are built — one dish and one hand at a time.
