Enjoy the bounty of Northern California cuisine with hands on cooking classes, and a tour of Napa's wineries. We arranged for two boutique winemakers to drop in during the classes for a wine tasting with you. And you’ll have an olive oil tasting with one of Napa’s best olive oil producers. This is the ultimate experience, a deliciously fun taste of Napa. Annie Baker, pastry chef of Mustards Grill will join us in the class to teach the dessert portion of the class.

Experience Napa Valley like an insider with a private tour of Napa Valley wineries with Jim Tenant of Wine Destinations. He will take you on a private wine tour of several of Napa’s boutique wineries. With Jim’s connections your wine country visit will be special. You’ll learn about wine making and taste the best Napa Valley has to offer on your private tour. You’ll feast on a Napa style picnic lunch at one of the wineries.

Each guest receives a COOKING with JULIE apron, recipe booklet of all of the recipes prepared that day along with techniques, tips and resources. Classes will be held in the kitchen of Churchill Manor.
