Dandelion Wine Workshop (4/20/24)

** NOTE: If this interests you, please REGISTER ASAP. Seasonal classes are only offered once a year! **

Dandelion Wine: it’s not just a Ray Bradbury novel, it’s a tasty wine that dates back to the European Middle Ages as a poor man’s wine. Is it then any wonder that this tasty wine followed immigrants to the far-flung Great Plains and Appalachia?

Like any recipe that’s been around for hundreds of years, everyone and their grandma has a recipe with its own special nuances. Your instructor has been bequeathed his great-great-grandma’s handwritten dandelion recipe, penned in her swooping hand along with other family concoctions.

PRICE OPTIONS
Class only - no equipment = $40
Class + fermentation vessel, airlock, and yeast plus dandelions you help gather = $60

INSTRUCTOR: David Williams was sent to play outside with the neighbor kids and hasn’t come back in for over 20 years. Instead of getting into mischief and building forts in the woods, he now spends his time teaching others about edible plants both native and introduced, brewing his own wine, and writing horror poetry. A wine snob he is NOT, the wine he brews doesn’t even have grapes in it!
