Sonoma Valley Official Visitors Guide

7 UNFORGETTABLE CULINARY
EXPERIENCES IN SONOMA VALLEY
As the birthplace of the farm-to-table movement, the San Francisco Bay Area has
attracted food and wine lovers for decades. In Sonoma Valley, local farmers and wine
growers offer some of the finest produce available, and it’s not uncommon to hear lots
of oohs and aahs from out-of-town visitors at the farmers markets. However, with a
long list of options, deciding where to go and what to do can be daunting. Here are our
top Sonoma Valley culinary experiences, sure to bring out your inner gourmet.
THE EPICUREAN CONNECTION
Award-winning Sonoma Chef Sheana Davis has
been an ardent advocate of the local cheese
industry in Sonoma for over two decades. As
talented a cheesemaker as she is a teacher,
Sheana instructs her students at The Epicurean
Connection with contagious enthusiasm. Sign up
for dynamic, hands-on cheese classes or private
ones, grab a group of your besties or make it a fun
day of team building with your colleagues. After
making your own homemade ricotta, you may
even get a chance to sample Sheana’s own cheese,
Délice de la Vallée, a triple-cream blend of cow
and goat milk. Mmm!
