There are opportunities to take cooking classes in Napa Valley at many local venues; but in a place famous for food and wine, the costs of these classes are not to be taken lightly. When choosing where to invest your time and money, the decision is easy when the classes are offered in a unique way at a place with a stellar reputation.

There is one name known in Napa Valley and world-wide that I know I can trust when it comes to cooking and wine – Cakebread Cellars. For 33 years Cakebread Cellars has been creating award-winning wines. Their cooking classes have become so well-known that you must reserve quickly before classes fill up. Cakebread offers many diverse and fun classes where you learn while cooking side-by-side with the chef and others who enjoy cooking.

Coming up on May 28 & 29, 2010 Cakebread Cellars hosts Dried, Stuffed, Sauced: Pasta Class. Although this class is being offered for two dates, Saturday’s class is full! You’ll learn how to make and roll your own pasta, how to match different shapes of pasta with different sauces, and what to add to your pasta (with and without sauce) for a fresh, healthy, delicious meal. After creating culinary magic, you’ll enjoy your creations paired with Cakebread Cellars wines. Please click here to see what sauces and fresh ingredients you’ll be cooking with and for instructions on how to reserve your place in Friday’s class.

Cakebread Cellars offers many tours and tastings by appointment. Click here to view all the enjoyable and educational options including a Wine and Food Pairing Experience, and for a limited time (until the end of this month!) the Sensory Evaluation Experience.

Enhance your day by contacting Napa Wine Tours to arrange your private, chauffeured transportation to Cakebread Cellars. Bon Appetit and Cheers!
