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.

Learn to cook in scenic wine country

We’ll make a delicious, locally-sourced meal centering on Petaluma’s abundant local produce. I’ll teach you knife and cooking skills. Dishes will include unusual vegetables, fruits, and grains. You will learn knife skills such as the proper way to cut an onion. You will learn the "start-and-stop-and-start" method of preparing risotto so you can finish it in 10 minutes right before serving it. You will have the opportunity to be hands-on with virtually all of these dishes, learning good technique by doing it once you see the proper way demonstrated to you. We may include family recipes modernized just a bit by me to make it easier for cooks to do today. We’ll have vegetables from the local farmer’s market and a killer dessert. I’ll provide local Sonoma county wine (or very special non-alcoholic beverages instead, if you’d prefer). We’ll eat outdoors on our gazebo if weather permits, or indoors in a formal dining room if not. If you book all four places for your group, we can customize the menu to the kinds of items you want to learn to cook, creating a 4-course menu for you to enjoy as well. My homemade sourdough bread is served as well. The protein choices are chicken, pork or vegetarian. For an extra fee I offer seafood, beef or duck. As this is a hands-on cooking class, please be sure to wear comfortable shoes for standing. We have two small friendly dogs.
