Culinary Getaways with Sherry Page

SAN FRANCISCO/SAUSALITO

The San Francisco Bay Area is a gourmet mecca, and Sausalito is a premier destination for visitors looking to take advantage of some of the finest restaurants in the world and the gourmet delicacies that fill this region. Sausalito is the perfect spot between San Francisco and Napa Valley and our classes here take advantage of both. From the San Francisco Ferry Building, which houses upscale vendors selling caviar, cheeses, chocolates, breads, organic foods, teas, coffees and kitchen goods, to nearby chocolate-making operations that offer private tours, the region is rich in culinary attractions. Join us as we explore this region and cook with the finest seasonal produce available.
