Culinary Arts programs

Discover new tastes.
Hone your skills.
Inspire creativity in the kitchen and at the market.

The launch of Cavallo Point's Culinary Arts Programs is an unprecedented collection of adventures and experiences that blend cooking classes, presentations, tastings and feasts. Cavallo Point sits at an amazing culinary crossroads. Rugged coasts, green pastures and picturesque farms, and lush orchards and vineyards offer a multitude of local ingredients whatever the season. Gifted artisans and vintners transform these raw materials into the finest wines, cheeses, preserves and more. These ingredients fill the pantries of our cooking school. Our kitchen is charming and comfortable, filled with natural light and beautifully equipped with the best tools of the trade. Each of our distinctive offerings gathers an intimate group together.

The Farmer, Vintner, Chef series pairs a celebrated chef with a favorite local organic farmer and an award-winning vintner. Join in a lively discussion focusing on current food and wine trends, techniques, favorite produce, sustainable farming and viticulture practices, the importance of these practices in the Bay area, and how each affects the other. After the Q&A has whetted your appetite, break up into groups to prepare a menu created harmoniously from the chef's culinary wizardry and the farmer's exquisite produce all carefully paired with the vintner's wines.

Other Culinary Adventures include behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on cooking classes, and memorable meals made together with your kitchen colleagues. Our award-winning presenters and hands-on instructors will infuse you with their passion while sharing stories and tips to take home and savor. Each adventure is limited to a small group. You might tour a Marin County organic farm, visit the 'real' San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf for the morning catch, or lend a hand in the local olive oil crush.
