I've always been a fan of the Epicurean Connection and Sheana Davis, but I wanted to post today about her debut of the dinner and music series! She brought in a ridiculously talented singer/songwriter to perform an intimate concert while feeding us the most scrumptious dinner. Here's how it was described:
"Creme de Fromage Crepes with Red Pepper Tapenade served with Winter Green Salad with Sonoma Walnuts, Raisins and Cranberries with a Thyme Vinaigrette." For dessert, we were given the most fantastic chocolate souffle from Galaxy Desserts in Richmond. Outstanding all around!
We were seated at community tables and many friends from the community were there. It was almost like an underground/speakeasy kind of a feel. One of our friends grabbed a couple of travelers from New York who felt like they got a truly special Sonoma experience.
Sheana prepared out dinner right out there where we could watch the magic, her daughter helped her serve, and husband Ben and team were outstanding greeters. I can't wait for the next event. Sheana is sure to bring even more new and exciting artists to Sonoma for our community to discover and the food...
Read moreA great add on activity in between wine tastings! We booked this cheese making class and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was laid out and planned. They served wine and non-alcoholic drinks. The facility is clean and nice. Has a bathroom for guests. Ben was excellent at explaining and providing instructions without being overbearing or too vague. He was great with the teen we had with us. We made butter and cheese and couldn’t stop eating it. So watch out for spoiling your appetite before a lunch or dinner booking. I would recommend doing this early into your trip since you get to take the butter and cheese with you. Makes for great snacking or breakfast material. You get to add flavors to the cheese and a huge table with all sorts of local and global spices is at your disposal. We enjoyed mixing and matching various flavors, all turned out yummy.
There is a free parking lot right in front. We were able to park there during the class. Highly recommend it - go learn...
Read moreSheana and Dan were over the top! We just returned from an amazing Girls Wine Weekend, rented a house in Sonoma and a good friend recommended The Epicurean Connection for our catering needs at the house. Talk about being spoiled!
It started with an amazing charcuterie board upon arrival, a wonderful cooking class our first evening, followed by breakfast each morning, snacks for on the road for our Napa wine day, and spectacular dinners and desserts. We'd barely breath (I'd like more wine, or I think I need more bread or a bit more of dinner) and it would arrive in front of us. Heck, they even helped us navigate a power and water outage! ;-)
They are fun, educational, interactive and we even had them sit with us and enjoy the amazing wine and desserts we found along the way.
I'd recommend them without hesitation and will connect with them again someday.
Something tells me that once you have Sheana and Dan in your lives -- you've added two...
