June: Lavender Harvest Celebration “Days of Wine & Lavender”featuring Culinary Lavender
June 28, 2025 11:00am-12:30pm (tix coming soon!)
$60/person $40/Wine Club Members
The fragrant harvest is coming in and we'll teach you how to successfully preserve it! Drying lavender is simple when you have a few methods at your disposal - and once you have done that, its uses are myriad. We will show you how to set aside the dried lavender buds (unopened flowers) for culinary use throughout the year and taste some simple and delicious recipes to inspire your summer cooking. Everyone goes home with a large bundle of fresh Roberts Ranch lavender, a bottle of dried culinary lavender, lavender lemon cookies and lots of ideas! This is a fun workshop for all (and there will be snacks & drinks for those under 21) Perfect gift idea for Mothers Day or other special occasions! The Cottage kitchen will prepare some summer bites celebrating culinary lavender and our new 2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir and 2024 Sauvignon Blanc will be the featured wines.
August: Garden Harvest Tomato Jam
Date TBA
$70/person $50/Wine Club Members
New to waterbath canning? This workshop is for you! We will bring in the sweet garden tomato harvest and learn a simple canning process for Tomato Jam following USDA guidelines for safety. Suggested equipment and guidebooks will be discussed so you can start on your own canning journey with confidence! All participants will take home a jar or two of goodies from the workshop. A light lunch from the Cottage Kitchen as well as a glass of wine will be provided to accompany our time.
November: Woodland Wreaths with Lunch
Date TBA
$80/person $60/Wine Club Members
Calling all Creatives! Come and make a Woodland Holiday Wreath or Chandelier from the Ranch winegrape vine cuttings! Sustainable reuse of cuttings from the vineyard is the inspiration for this workshop. We will teach you how to prepare the vines, make your frame(s), and complete the Wreath to your liking- tidy or rustic! We'll then tuck in foliage, herbs & decorations for that perfect seasonal touch. You can include Rosemary, Bay Laurel and Olive branches and Redwood from the Ranch, as well as preserved Dusty Miller and Amaranth and more from a neighboring farm. A light lunch will be prepared for you from the Cottage Kitchen and a glass of Roberts Ranch wine (or holiday punch) will be served to complete your enjoyment!
