Mid-Winter Beekeepers' Feast: A Taste of Mead and Honey
The Honey and Pollination Center at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science invites you to give the gift of honey for a sustainable future. Join us for a fundraiser to support the Honey and Pollination Center's work – and just in time to make the perfect winter gift!
Join us in the glow of candlelight as we celebrate this beginning of the honeybee’s season. We will start the evening with sparkling mead cocktails and end with a very special dessert: a mead flight with cheeses, guided by Darrell Corti, international wine judge. Music, a silent auction and great food will fill the evening.
Our Dinner has been designed by Ann Evans and Mani Niall and will be catered by The Buckhorn. Ann is the founder of Yolo County Slow Food, the Davis Farmers Market, the Davis Farm to School Program, beekeeper, illustrator/author (with Georgeanne Brennan) of the Davis Farmer’s Market Cookbook. Mani is the author of numerous cookbooks including ‘Covered in Honey’ and his latest venture, ‘Sweet!’ He is the chief cupcake froster at Sweet Bar Bakery in Oakland, CA.
