Sip through Napa’s nonalcoholic cocktail scene

Most people come to Napa for wine, but there’s a whole world of flavors beyond the vineyard. I created this tour to showcase the craftsmanship, creativity, and storytelling behind Napa’s best nonalcoholic drinks. Whether you're sober-curious, taking a break from alcohol, or simply looking for something new, this experience offers an insider’s look at the evolving zero-proof movement in California’s Wine Country. • We’ll start at Napa Yard, where you’ll sip a handcrafted mocktail and enjoy curated appetizers from its head mixologist. • From there, we’ll take a short walk to Jeffries General for a speed round tasting, where you’ll sample a selection of innovative nonalcoholic beverages—from adaptogenic and functional drinks to hemp-based infusions. • Next, we’ll head to Wilfred’s Lounge, Napa’s premier tiki bar, to enjoy a tropical mocktail and light bite in a lively setting. • Our final stop is Oxbow Public Market, where you can explore artisan vendors and specialty food stalls before wrapping up just steps from our starting point. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective on Napa’s evolving beverage scene and a new appreciation for the art of zero-proof mixology.

Create Ricotta, Tartines, and Cacio e Pepe

You will be greeted with some specialty non-alcoholic beverages, along with some affection from our two small rescue dogs. I will teach you how to make homemade ricotta cheese in a very simple way, and then how to use that ricotta to make tartines (rustic bread toasted and spread with Ricotta and topped with your choices of things -- we take them to a whole new level with at least 25 special ingredients I create just for you) and a quick and easy version of cacio e pepe (what I call a grown-ups mac n' cheese). You will learn what to do with the whey which is leftover from making cheese. We will even pick some herbs and edible flowers from my herb garden, and learn more about those as part of this experience. Then you will sit down to eat the creations you have made. You will leave with the recipes you need to easily recreate the ricotta at home, and a new skill to share with your family and friends. Other things to note As this class centers around making ricotta cheese, if you have a dairy allergy this would not work for you. However, if you are simply lactose intolerant we CAN make this with lactose-free milk. Please let me know in advance. We have two small friendly dogs who are part of the welcoming committee. If you have a dog allergy or aversion, please understand this part of the experience cannot be changed.
