Your crew at our intimate, seminar-style setting will include the intrepid men and women winemakers, and owners who grow and craft these remarkable wines. The City College of San Francisco Culinary Arts & Hospitality Studies program will create delights for your taste buds to savor during the sessions and at a walk-around Zinfandel reception following the seminar.
