Sonoma County is one of the best edible wild mushroom regions in the entire world! Join David Campbell and Julie Schreiber, who between them have over 80 years of wild mushroom experience, on a foray in the hills near Healdsburg.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of edible wild mushroom foraging, including what trees and terrain to look for, the most easily-recognizable edible mushrooms of our region, handling, safety and more. We'll gather all of our found mushrooms, edible or not, to use as examples of identifying characteristics.

After working up an appetite from our tromp in the beautiful woods, we'll savor a wild mushroom lunch created by Chef Julie, who is also a trained chef and winemaker. Discussion will continue over lunch, including storing, handling and cooking a variety of fresh and dry wild mushrooms. We'll cook up any edibles we find along with our amazing four-course mushroom lunch served with selected local wines.

This Relish class includes 9 ounces of premium wine per person served to all participants over 21 years of age. Additional wine is available for purchase by the glass or bottle. 
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten- and dairy-free restrictions can be accommodated if specified as part of the class registration. Due to the rustic nature of our lunch locations other dietary restrictions cannot be accommodated. Thank you for your understanding.
WE DO NOT CANCEL OR PROVIDE REFUNDS DUE TO RAIN. We will forage in the rain if it's not miserably torrential and the roads are still passable. If there is a chance of rain on the event date, we will ask for a cell phone number so we can call or text you early that morning about the foraging status. If the weather does not allow, WE WILL STILL HOLD THE LUNCH and you will be invited to forage with us on another class date.
