Wine and cheese is a classic pairing with an infinite number of combinations! Join Meghan McKenna, cheesemaker at Cherry Valley Dairy, and wine and cheese connoisseur, Cat Olson, on a tasting adventure to explore pairing possibilities. We’ll be sipping wines from local, Salmon-Safe wineries and nibbling cheeses from local dairies like Glendale Shepherd on Whidbey Island. In this class you will learn how to identify subtle nuances of flavor and create perfect pairings. Learn how to create a beautiful cheese board and walk away with tips of the trade for throwing your own wine and cheese pairing party. Vegetarian, with dairy, wheat optional.
We celebrate true farm-to-table cooking at 21 Acres; all ingredients come from local farms, including the 21 Acres Farm. Starting in May, our spring classes begin at 6 pm with a guided walk on the farm.
Sustainable Culinary Education
Our culinary education team enhances the mission of 21 Acres by defining mindful eating from a wider lens perspective. We use only local, seasonal, whole food ingredients in order to promote a sustainable local food system, support our local agricultural ecomony, and reduce our carbon foot print by purchasing ingredients that travel less miles from farm to table. Focusing on whole food ingredients also enhances the nutritional value of our recipes. All of our classes strive to teach delicious, simple recipes using everyday culinary techniques that make it easy for students to incorporate healthy meals into their busy lives. We hope our approach will inspire people to embrace local foods and the timeless art of cooking.
