A tasting seminar with hands-on cheesemaking experience.
Spring is when we look forward to strawberries, blooming flowers, and warmer days. Because the grass and herbs on the Sonoma and Marin hills are emerald green and delicious (ask the goats), it is also one of the best times of the year to celebrate all things goat and make goat cheese. In this class, we'll have a goat's milk tasting, learn how to make two goat's milk cheeses, and master a few party-friendly apps with the theme's milk. Then, we'll pair our creations to wines that love them.
A hands-on class culminating in a shared light meal of with wine and beer while we wait for the canners to finish sealing our freshly made preserves! Students will take home hot jars home, so be prepared.
A hands-on cooking class culminating in a family-style dinner with wine and beer. Students will leave with their own container of preserved lemons to take home and ferment.
A hands-on cheesemaking course; each participant leaves with his/her freshly made cheese. Includes a cheese tasting of burrata alongside an array of snacks.
The most exciting cheese on the cheese board needs little explanation: burrata is fresh mozzarella filled with luscious cream and more cheese. You get to make your own in one short night. And eat it too!
Making cheese at home is much easier than you think! From how to culture milk to making your own fluffy paneer, this class will teach you the delicious basics of cheesemaking. You'll learn how to make India's top cheese, how to ferment milk into fromage blanc (and when to add herbs to make the perfect party cheese), and how to make your very own rich, sweet butter by hand.
Each ticket is good for one adult and up to 2 children. One ticket is for one gingerbread house.
