Guests gathered around a grazing board at a vineyard

The experience

Come for the cheese. Stay for everything else.

Our classes are small, hands-on, and genuinely fun. You'll build your own board, taste incredible local wines, and leave with skills you'll actually use — plus a very full stomach.

What actually happens at a Grazing Art class

We keep it simple: you show up, we take care of everything else. No prep, no stress, no prior experience needed. Just a beautiful setting, great ingredients, and a couple of hours to slow down and enjoy yourself.

Our signature experience — the one that started it all

The Classic Board

2 hours2–12 guestsFrom $95 per person

You'll work with a curated selection of artisan cheeses, cured meats, seasonal fruits, house-made jams, and local honey to build your own stunning grazing board from scratch. We guide you through every step — flavor pairings, arrangement, the works — and pair each course with wines sourced from nearby estates.

What's included

Guided board-building instruction
3–4 artisan cheese selections
Cured meats, seasonal fruit & accompaniments
House-made jams and local honey
3 wine pairings from local estates
Recipes and pairing notes to take home

For the wine lovers who want to go a little deeper

The Wine & Board Pairing

2.5 hours2–10 guestsFrom $125 per person

This one's for the curious. We spend more time on the wine side — exploring how different varietals interact with different flavors, why some pairings sing and others clash, and how to build a board specifically around what's in your glass. You'll leave with a whole new way of thinking about both.

What's included

Everything in The Classic Board
5 wine pairings with tasting notes
Deep-dive pairing education
Regional wine country context
Personalized wine recommendations
Take-home pairing guide

Birthdays, bachelorettes, anniversaries, corporate — we do it all
