2008 American Harvest Workshop Schedule
September 6-10

In early September the Cakebread family hosted their 22nd Annual American Harvest Workshop. Five exceptional guest chefs from around the world joined us for the event, as did ten wonderful wine and food enthusiasts, our “Cakebread Cooks”, and members of the media. Four days of fun, wine and food education, and harvest excitement culminating in two harvest dinners – what more could you ask for?
