Gluten-Free Flavors of the Wine Country - Culinary Getaway in Napa Valley!
Come join expert chefs as they lead you through the unique seasonal flavors of the California Wine Country. Learn professional techniques for adding flavor to healthy, gluten-free cuisine. You’ll be amazed at how delicious “healthy” can be – simply by choosing the right recipes that provide flavorful alternatives to gluten. During this intensive multi-day workshop, you’ll learn about the ingredients you can and can’t use in gluten-free cooking, how to spot the hidden gluten in food, and where to shop for gluten-free products. Whether you are simply looking to start on the path to a healthier lifestyle, or have strong sensitivities to gluten, you will find that this culinary getaway points you in the right direction from “sweet” to “savory”…and everything in-between.
There's a spirited new stop in Napa Valley with the emergence of downtown Napa. And the new AVIA Napa hotel makes its mark by tapping into the insider's best of Napa. As your charming host, AVIA offers guests a full-fledged, premium Napa Valley hotel experience. But it's their skill as an ambassador where the AVIA Napa hotel shines. They offer guests insight and access into the heart and soul of wine country. Located in downtown Napa you're steps away from world-class wine tasting venues and Cali cuisine. Downtown you'll find artisanal food, wine and shopping at the Oxbow Public Market. Let AVIA show you around Napa.
Chef’s Table Gluten-Free Cooking Class & Dinner
The first class in your workshop will focus on tried-and-true gluten-free techniques that will illustrate how to turn even the simplest dish into a work of art. You’ll learn how to use whole-foods and plant-based ingredients to create an optimal gluten-free diet. While ample time will be spent on the healthy aspects of living gluten-free…the emphasis throughout your instruction will be on the optimization of flavor and textures. Imagine having the freedom to make your own pizza crust, creamy quiche with a flakey crust, flour-based sauces…and pasta! And best of all, at the conclusion of class, you will all sit down to a fabulous, multi-course dinner with wine pairing.
Cave Tour & Barrel Tasting with Small Bites
Come and experience when fine wine, spectacular architecture, moving music and delicious food all come together. This is a wine experience, not just a tasting! Walking along the elegant chandelier-lined cave, you will learn the history of wine while tasting out of the finest French and American oak barrels. Following the tour, finish off the experience with additional bottled wine tastings paired with rare meats and cheeses and a delicious chocolate and port pairing.
Gluten-Free Holiday Baking – Pastries and Cookies
Get ready for a great holiday cooking class with the added benefit of being gluten-free! If you have ever tried to convert your favorite family recipe into a gluten-free knock-off, then you’ll really appreciate this class. What is the holiday season without spritz cookies, shortbread, rugelach or macaroons? Learn how to mix your own flour, proper baking techniques and substitutions that can make or break holiday cookies and baked goods. Get a jump on the holiday season with new creations, old traditions and a collection of recipes sure to inspire and impress.
