On January 26th, 2020, Passalacqua Winery is partnering with Relish Culinary Adventures for a special wild mushroom foray and luncheon in Healdsburg. In the hills above Sonoma County, learn the fundamentals of edible wild mushroom foraging in one of the best edible mushroom regions in the world. Following the hillside excursion, return to Relish Culinary Adventures for a cooking demonstration and discussion on techniques for storing, handling and cooking a variety of fresh and dry wild and cultivated mushrooms. Guests will enjoy a delicious three-course wild mushroom lunch, with guided wine pairings from Passalacqua Winery led by winemaker Jessica Boone.
Passalacqua winemaker Jessica Boone believes in an expressionist approach to winemaking, giving the grapes freedom to taste exactly how they are meant to taste. Wines that display purity, like Passalacqua's, are best paired with other pure expressions of the earth, such as wild mushrooms, which reflect the terroir in which they grow. Learning the tricks of the trade from owner Jason Passalacqua's great grandfather, the Passalacqua family has been foraging mushrooms on the same Sonoma County land for generations. This inspired Jason's vision for a wine that enhances experiences in the outdoors, to be enjoyed in nature, paired with fresh air.
