Part of 4 day program, you are welcome to sign up for individual days.
9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. We begin our day at Hudson Ranch in the Carneros region of Napa Valley, with our host Lee Hudson and Scott Boggs, his ranch manager. We will walk through the organic gardens and pick our vegetables for class, visit the farm animals and taste the wine and olive oil from the ranch. It is a true polyculture-oriented farm. Lee Hudson raises hogs, 3-4 breeds of chickens (both for eggs and meat), cattle, turkeys, organic vegetables (Lee has dedicated 3+ acres of his ranch to them), fruit trees, olive trees, grapes and produces wine. This is a rare opportunity to experience this special ranch and meet the charismatic visionary behind it.
11:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. This afternoon we spend at the home of Pat and Carol Boyle enjoying their wonderful southern hospitality. The cooking class will be in their exquisitely appointed kitchen and we will cook our lunch in a wood-burning oven. We will have the opportunity to enjoy their single-vineyard cabernet sauvignon wine with our lunch on their outdoor patio in a bucolic setting.
If you signed up for the 4 day program all fees are included.
