After being introduced to the space and to each other, I will provide a quick demonstration on the wheel with a small amount of clay. Afterwards, each guest will be allowed time to create a piece on the wheel from beginning to end with personal instruction and assistance from me. Guests are welcome to make anything they would like to on the wheel! Cup, bowl, vase, dish, etc. (Please Read)The firing of pottery is a long process that is separate from the time we spend on the wheel. Each piece requires a two day long firing process in a kiln, and I hand glaze each piece. I offer kiln services out of my personal studio if you have interest in having your piece fired for a *small fee that is not due the day of the experience.* I do not include this in the price of the experience because some guests do not wish to keep their piece. Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting some clay on. Clay will wash out, but you may not want to go out right after. The time noted on the experience, 2 hours, is generally descriptive of a 2 person experience which encompasses the majority of my bookings. In general, the experience is 1 hour per person. If there are 3 or 4 people in the booking, likely the experience will extend the 2 hour session time, and if there is 1 person in the booking it will be closer to an hour.

In this super-charged BRUNCH class, I’ll teach you how to make an easy homemade sourdough bread from scratch without the hassle of a sourdough starter. You will enjoy this bread several ways for brunch alongside other dishes. Besides the bread, we’ll also make fresh ricotta cheese, tartines, and perfect French omelets—made with Petaluma’s famous eggs. The experience will be hands-on and you will learn some valuable cooking skills and tips in this robust class—and at the end of the class you’ll get to take home the loaf of bread you baked, to enjoy later as a delicious souvenir. This is a great class for beginners, or intermediate bakers, as well as for people who want to learn many general cooking tips, and who want to enjoy a delicious 4-course brunch with a complimentary glass of California bubbly. This is not a class for people who want to make sourdough bread with a starter. This IS an experience for someone who is hungry for both knowledge and great food.

In the words of Fritz Perls "Lose your mind and come to your senses." Take a day and practice this profound message in the medium of paint. YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED EXPERIENCE PAINTING!!! After introductions we will start with some movement and move into three deep and relaxing guided imagery meditations. This journey will take us into the mysterious territory of our past lives. We will use these sensations along with movement and support to create a painting. We'll experience the act of painting with freedom and become aware of the critic within that holds us back from our full expression. Experience the liberation necessary to approach your creativity with full vitality. After we finish our paintings we'll have time to debrief about the experience in a sharing circle. Other things to note This workshop is not therapy but VERY therapeutic. Coming with an open mind can enhance your experience.

Create a unique painting in wine country while relaxing & enjoying the beverage of your choice! This is not your ordinary “Paint & Sip” with a generic painting & cheap materials; it’s not paint by numbers, either.

No experience or talent required. You will have all the materials, step by step instruction, feedback, & encouragement to layer by layer, complete a work of art small enough to slip into your suitcase. It’s fun & interesting, too! You will take home a finished, easy to frame 8”x10” painting, new skills & a wonderful memory of your time in Napa or Sonoma. You will forever see painting, life, & the world around you differently! This is the ultimate “Paint & Sip” experience. It's got heart, soul and a sense of place in California’s premier wine region. Great for groups & celebrations! Executive teams, start ups, bachelorette parties, families and friends all love the beautiful harmony of working on the same project but in everyone’s individual way. It’s amazing to see what everyone creates!

Take advantage of our group discounts! ★ 10% OFF — groups from 4 to 5 guests ★ 15% OFF — from 6 guests My kitchen experience is formed around the experience of being Puro Californio, my indigenous ancestors go back before the Spaniards arrived, and the European side sailed from France to settle Sonoma in the 1850s. Those roots run deep in ancestry and attitude. My palate reflects that and draws from Americana, Regional Mexican, Mediterranean, Moroccan, and even aspects of Vietnamese. The West Coast experience is in my blood, and the purest expression of that for me is via the plate and pen. I also have a gritty, sentimental side that I pour onto each preparation. I will arrive before your dining time to begin working my magic. Not only that, but I will show up at your doorstep equipped with every ingredient needed to prepare your meal. Feel free to put your apron on and cook some dishes with me! I am eager to share with you the secrets behind my recipes and local hidden treasures.

Delve into the wonders of olive oil and wine! We’ll meet at my family’s olive farm, take a stroll around the grove, and then sit down for an in depth tasting of our various oils and a selection of California wines. We will practice our sensory evaluation, decipher what extra virgin really means, and pair our oils w some snacks. Once we’ve oiled up our palates we’ll do the same with wine, moving through a flight of artisanal wines from producers throughout northern California. Finally, we'll taste two locally made cheeses and talk about the food revolution that has been happening over the past few decades. This tasting should introduce you to some of the best that Northern California has to offer! If you don't see the day or time that fits your schedule, please feel free to message me so we can find something that works for you! Tastings are limited to a maximum of six guests to allow for an intimate and personalized experience. I am happy to accommodate larger groups for private tastings.
