Package Details

  • Floral Arranging  Get an inside peek of what it is like to have an organic flower farm that has become a community gathering place as you walk the farm and learn about unique farming methods. Watch a floral demonstration from a senior designer and learn professional techniques to apply to your own designs at home. Get hands-on as you design a gorgeous floral arrangement that you get to keep and enjoy being on a farm, in a natural setting and away from the world as you know it. This 2½-hour interactive experience includes all materials, instruction, coffee, cheese & crackers and sweet treats, and the take-home arrangement.
  • Wine-&-Food Pairing Walking Tour including a Healdsburg Restaurant Lunch  Sip and stroll through charming downtown Healdsburg on a 3½-hour creative, fun, and entertaining wine-and-food-pairing walking tour led by a resident expert guide.  Begin your tour enjoying a delicious lunch celebrating the local bounty at a renowned local restaurant with a chance to chat with the chef about his approach and inspirations.  Private seated tastings at two boutique wineries (up to 12 wine tastings), with eight to ten innovative wine-and-food pairings offered exclusively through Wine Country Walking Tours; delicious bites at a local artisan food shop (which could include gourmet tea, ice cream, chocolates, pastries, or other goodies); and a fun, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere that lets you discover for yourself why certain wines taste better with specific foods. Leave with the confidence, and a wine pairing ‘cheat sheet’, to create your own wine and food innovations.
  • Cooking Experience with Dinner  The tour ends with a 3-hour evening of cooking that brings together all the elements of the day. Learn more about local “makers” as you use seasonal produce, artisan cheese, cold pressed olive oil, and other notable ingredients to create a delicious meal under the guidance of a talented local chef. Glean recipes and techniques for how we cook in the wine country—fresh, clean, unfussy foods and flavors—an approach easily reproduced at home. The small group size ensures quality cooking time with our chef. Sip wine while cooking and enjoy a specially selected glass with each course, building on the pairing knowledge gathered earlier. Savor the just-created meal at a beautiful table adorned with flower arrangements you crafted earlier in the day and take home recipe portfolios for all dishes. The cooking experience includes chef, staff, all ingredients and cooking equipment, and four-course dinner paired with 3 glasses of wine. Additional wine available for purchase.
  • Also included Open-air pedi-cab transportation between activities, convenient all-day parking, tour fees, gratuities, service charges and sales tax.
