Napa Farmers Market tour and cooking class
Get ready to embark on a fully immersive Napa Valley foodie experience with Playte Kitchen’s chef Sandy Sauter on a guided tour of the Napa Farmers Market, where she is also the culinary director, on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Explore and shop for the freshest locally sourced ingredients and meet the local farmers and artisan food producers face-to-face. After the tour, you’ll have an hour of free time and be given some “market bucks” to spend at the market before heading back to Playte Kitchen where Sauter will guide you through the process of creating a delicious meal utilizing the ingredients you just bought. You’ll learn how to prepare and cook each dish while also picking up tips and tricks for creating dishes that showcase the flavors of the season. By the end of the class, you’ll have expanded your culinary knowledge and skills but also have a newfound appreciation for the importance of using fresh, local ingredients in your cooking.
