Interactive

Picture yourself tasting fresh, flavorful food and wine while talking with the chef about the ingredients, the preparation and the pairing of flavors. Our Dinner Show classes, for example, brings our guests to our chef's table where you watch each dish being prepared, taste the food in five courses with four accompanying wines, question the chef about any step, and mix with your fellow guests in lighthearted conversation and relaxation.
Hands-On

Imagine making a perfect piecrust, aromatic artisan bread or Sunday brunch as your expert chef guides you through the exact steps for satisfying success. Whether you are testing the freshness of butter, slicing heirloom apples, grating fresh herbs, or flash cooking your fish, you learn the secrets that make food preparation foolproof.
Guest Chef

Variety may be the spice of life, and it is also the spice of cooking! Guests from Seattle, Portland, and beyond share some of their skills and creativity from their cookbooks, restaurants and resorts.
Visiting Vintner

A renowned winemaker brings us the best of the vineyard paired with the perfect food selections to bring robust fullness to both. One guest called this our "sip and sup" program.
