We will be visiting Yankee Hill Culinary School for an experience learning how to make (and eat!) Tuscan food.   For more about the venue see: http://yankeehillwinery.com

You will need to arrive at 10:30am on 3/26.  We will learn how to cook a gourmet meal and then will enjoy the vineyard grounds as we eat and talk about the Humanities and its value in our lives.

Yankee Hill Winery and Cooking School is located in the Sierra Foothills in the historic gold rush town of Columbia, California   The winery is the oldest winery in the Sierra Foothills.  It is a small winery and a cooking school with Ron Erickson as the wine maker, cooking instructor and chef extraordinaire.  Our winery was started in 1970 and the cooking school was started in 1995.  The cooking school runs year round with scheduled classes almost every Saturday morning and group classes can be scheduled any day of the week.

The school offers a variety of cuisines.  The kitchen is well equipped and has large ovens for baking breads, pizzas and other wonderful savory and sweet items.  Each item selected to prepare normally contains no more than seven ingredients.  Natural ingredients are used and if you can’t purchase the ingredients at your local super market they will not part of the ingredients used.  The food is delicious and fun to cook.
