Description
Learn to make cheese with Lola the Cow at Pickle Creek Ranch - Mt. Veeder, Napa!
Enjoy an afternoon at The Ranch for up to 4 adults and 5 children
Offered by hosts Sara Vietti and Jorge Lara, with special guest Lola the cow.
You are invited to Pickle Creek Ranch on beautiful Mount Veeder Road, for a fun-filled afternoon in nature. Begin your experience by meeting Lola - Sara and Jorge's sweet Jersey cow. Have your hiking boots ready, in case you need to tromp around and find her grazing in the grassy hills.
Say hello, make friends, and offer Lola a tasty treat. Try your hand at milking - her friendly nature makes for a fun lesson! Once the fresh milk is ready to go, learn the steps of making delicious farmer's cheese with Jorge.
The kids are welcome to join in on the fun in the kitchen, but there will also be nature games, puzzles, and water color activities led by the older Vietti children.
Once your tasty cheese is ready, it's time to feast! Makes plans ahead of time with Sara for your perfect pairing -- the farm fresh cheese you just made paired with bread and wine? Quesadillas and margaritas? Or maybe you have another idea?
Perhaps you'll want to make it a picnic? Gather your goods, hike to the property's peak and savor the view. Sara and Jorge invite you to enjoy your time in nature at Pickle Creek exploring the property and meeting the other animals.
Upon the close of the afternoon, bring home fresh cheese to enjoy throughout your week.
We can't wait to host you at the ranch!
