Culinary Adventure with Chef Perry Hoffman: Spring Foraging in Dry Creek Valley

Join SHED’s Culinary Director Perry Hoffman for a hands-on workshop exploring the best of wild California ingredients. This springtime foraging event will be a hunt for fool’s onions, miner’s lettuce, wild ginger, and Douglas Fir shoots through the land and creek beds of Dry Creek Valley at beautiful Weed Farms. Guided by Chef Perry, participants will taste and learn what to look for while out foraging, and get a chef’s perspective on the wonders of the great outdoors.

The workshop will conclude with a seasonal lunch prepared by Chef Perry’s team at SHED. Tickets are limited for this unique culinary experience. Be sure to dress for being outside with sun protection, layers, and suitable footwear. Please note that this workshop will begin offsite in Dry Creek Valley and conclude at Healdsburg SHED. The address and directions for the meeting site will be emailed to ticket holders before the event.

Perry Hoffman is Executive Chef at Healdsburg SHED. A Napa Valley native, Perry literally grew up in fine dining wine country kitchens, as his grandparents, Sally and Don Schmitt were the original owners of The French Laundry in Yountville. He has worked at the Boonville Hotel, Santé Restaurant at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Auberge du Soleil, and most recently étoile Restaurant at Domaine Chandon, where he garnered a four-star review from the San Francisco Chronicle and a Michelin Star for three continuous years.
