Experience the vibrant flavors of Napa Valley in Wine Country Grilling, a lively two-hour hands-on cooking class that celebrates the art of cooking over fire with the seasonal ingredients of Northern California.

Guided by CIA chef-instructors, you’ll work in small teams to prepare a menu inspired by the relaxed elegance of wine country outdoor dining.

Together, the class will create a seasonal menu that highlights both savory and sweet dishes from the grill.

You’ll begin with grilled stone fruit paired with creamy burrata, a simple yet stunning appetizer that showcases how caramelization from the grill enhances natural sweetness.

Next, master the technique for perfectly searing flank steak, served with a vibrant Chimichurri bursting with fresh herbs and garlic.

To accompany the steak, you’ll prepare ratatouille-style grilled vegetables, layering smoky char with classic Provençal flavors.

For dessert, the class turns to a decadent finale: dark chocolate and red wine pot de crème, a silky custard that reflects the indulgent spirit of wine country dining.
