Spring is one of our favorite times of the year in the Napa Valley! The vineyards awake from their winter slumber, with budbreak signaling the start of the next vintage; and our Culinary & Pollinator gardens come to life with ripe Winter crops & colorful Spring blooms. Our late co-founder Dolores Cakebread, a chef and a master gardener, planted our first vegetable garden 50 years ago. The bounty of that garden continues to influence Calebread’s culinary program with fresh farm-to-table produce throughout the year.
In this class, we’ll tour the garden and share harvesting tips while exploring the flavors of Spring. Afterward, work hand-in-hand with our winery chefs to prepare the appetizers and three-course plated lunch you will later enjoy with Cakebread Cellars wines.
