Located in the City of Sonoma, The Epicurean Connection welcomes corporate teams, private groups, and individual guests to gather around the table for hands-on cheese-making and culinary experiences rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and community. Private and corporate classes are the heart of our business, lively and interactive events that bring people together in a way that feels meaningful and genuinely fun. We host experiences both on-site in Sonoma and off-site throughout Wine Country, and beyond. Whether you’re planning a team retreat, celebrating a milestone, or simply visiting the region, you’ll feel right at home in our kitchen.
Led by husband-and-wife team Sheana Davis, award-winning cheesemaker, and Ben Sessions, lifelong Wine Country resident and wine educator, our classes blend deep expertise with an approachable teaching style that makes cheesemaking accessible to everyone. We also offer select catering for private and corporate events, on-site and off-site, featuring regionally sourced ingredients and long-standing partnerships with local producers. Our retail shop is open during classes and private events, stocked with our award-winning cheeses and artisan provisions that reflect the best of Sonoma.
At The Epicurean Connection, food is how we build community, generously, sustainably, and with a true sense of celebration.
