Join us for a masterclass in Farm to Fire cooking.

Chefs Jaret, Mona and the incredible Tournant team will be demonstrating their signature cooking techniques in a hands-on workshop around a series of open fires at Star Mooring Farm, a third generation farm in the Willamette Valley bountiful with hazelnuts, vineyards and fruit trees.

This half day workshop is for cooks of all levels who love food and cooking and are curious about the basics of building and combining flavors, cooking with the seasons and surroundings, and mastering open fire cooking techniques such as ash-roasting, grilling, cedar-planking and dutch oven cooking.

The omnivore menu will be prepared together around the flames. There will be plenty of fire snacks throughout the day, then a meal shared as a communal feast. Attendees will go home with the fundamentals of this rustic tradition to put to use for their own gatherings with friends and family.

This event is BYOB. Please feel free to bring libations to enjoy—or to share! Attendees will receive additional itinerary details as the workshop date draws near.
