Relish Culinary Adventures

Based in Healdsburg, California, in the heart of the Sonoma County wine country, Relish offers culinary events on a wide range of topics from wine country cuisine to ethnic specialties, wine and spirits education to children's cooking workshops. In addition, Relish hosts events that bring people together in the kitchen such as private cooking parties and corporate team-building events. All of our events feature locally-grown and/or organic ingredients whenever possible, illustrating the bounty of this wonderful region and leaving guests with a "sense of place" that is all about Sonoma County. Prices range from $50 to $150 per person, depending on many variables. Some of our favorite Healdsburg area locations include stylish wineries, scenic vineyards, sustainable family farms, notable restaurants and beautiful private homes. In the spring of 2008, we opened the state-of-the-art Relish Culinary Center in downtown Healdsburg, a stylish teaching kitchen and event space, enabling Relish to offer a wider variety of events for groups of all sizes. For each event, we thoughtfully match each theme with a skilled chef, resulting in a unique “personality” for each event. Most classes include a full meal of the featured recipes (no skimpy tastes here) paired with excellent local wines or beers specially selected for the menu. Relish supports the bounty of local chefs, farmers, wine experts and food purveyors in Sonoma County from whom we build an impressive list of class instructors. We pride ourselves in highlighting local and organic ingredients whenever possible and encourage guests to support sustainable farms. In addition to our scheduled cooking classes, Relish offers private events for groups and businesses, organizes culinary tours, is a responsive operator for tour groups, and sponsors chef demonstrations at a variety of culinary events in Sonoma County including the California Artisan Cheese Festival, the Healdsburg Wild Steelhead Festival and the Gravenstein Apple Fair.
