Napa & Sonoma Cooking Classes

We had such a wonderful wine tasting experience with Elisabeth! She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also so warm and personable that it genuinely felt like catching up with a friend over a few glasses of wine. She created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere while teaching us so much along the way. Great vibes, great wine, and an overall amazing experience. Highly recommend Elisabeth!

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Exactly what we were expecting and so much more! The guide is truly passionate about her work.

This experience was by far one of our favorite things my husband and I did on our vacation. Elaine was so knowledgeable and such a fun host. We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Sonoma area!

Fantastic experience! Elisabeth demystifies the wine tasting process and makes Napa feel so much more approachable if you feel a little overwhelmed with all the options around. She was a lot of fun and answered all our questions. I really recommend it especially if you’re going to be spending a few a days in the area, it’s a great start to a wine vacation!

It was great. Instructor very good. Property was nice. Friendly people at the winery. I would go again

A wonderful fun filled dive into wine making. Learn to use the 5 S’s to create a blend of wine based on your taste profile and realize how involved it can be. Our wine specialist Jo was knowledgeable, passionate about the venue and craft and most charming.

We adored Elisabeth, she was so personable and knowledgeable about the culture, process, and history of wine and really curated the conversation to our experience level. We left with an understanding about how to truly to enjoy wine. She also gave us great recommendations for Napa and other travels around the world. We hope to come back to the area and book her again for a future wine & food pairing class.

We started this intro to wine experience questioning if we would enjoy an educational wine tasting. Our doubts were quickly changed. Elizabeth didn't just deliver her knowledge, she delivered fun, enthusiasm and an experience. We all walked away with new knowledge and memories.

Very informative and lots of fun. Would definitely recommend, especially for beginners or novice wine drinkers or those who aren't looking for a full day.

This was a very fun and interesting activity. Would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something a little different than your typical wine tasting.

Jo was an amazing host and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. As someone who isn’t usually a wine drinker, I really appreciated how clearly she explained everything. If you love wine, I highly recommend this tour — creating my own wine was fun, unique, and enlightening!

Friendly staff, great company, wines were good and the tour and tasting were fun. Mixing our own wine was challenging and rewarding. Very much recommended. Got to meet the vineyard owner too, nice surprise.

An unexpected gem of a wine experience in a beautiful setting. Staff greeted us warmly, offering us a sparkling wine to prepare our palettes for plenty of sips to come. We learned the 5 S’s of wine tasting and prepared our senses to make our own blend. Eileen was a knowledgeable and gracious host. Highly recommend- not your ordinary tasting, very experiential. Best part is when you cork and label your own blend to take home.

It was the best time. Beautiful tour of gardens and so much fun tasting and blending wines. Loved the lovely provided cheese tray.

This was a delightful experience all around. We began with a tour of the grounds, taking in the sights and smells of the gardens — a great precursor to growing in the art of wine tasting. Each wine we used for mixing, while distinct, was excellent, and I would buy it as a standalone — this is the first winery I've been able to say that about. The mixing process was educational, relaxed, and an overall joy to experience. Elaine was an excellent guide, walking us through each step with insights and anecdotes. I highly recommend doing this.

My goal was to be able to learn some terms to be able to describe (and thus buy) wines that I enjoy. There is sooo much to learn and understand, but Elisabeth helped me take some baby steps toward my goal. Elisabeth is kind, very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions, no matter what level her clients are at.
