Elevate your entertaining skills with a hands-on evening of board styling and wine pairing! Join us at Food + Farm Exploration Center for an interactive workshop presented in partnership with Mid-State Technical College. Chef Ryan will demonstrate how to assemble an attractive, balanced charcuterie board featuring a variety of meats, specialty cheeses, and fresh fruits.
