Locations de vacances : San Joaquin County

This Experience will take place in shaded areas outdoors, or indoors for vaxxed parties of four or fewer. Due to summer heat, I've adjusted starting times to coincide with the coolest parts of the day. We will be crafting three unique cocktails worthy of entertaining from locally sourced, small batch/boutique, organic (when available) scratch ingredients. We may start by creating an infusion. Then, we will squeeze fresh juices. When we've assembled our mise en place, we'll be about the business of mixology, where we'll put it all together with premium liquors to craft some truly unique drinks to razzle-dazzle your family and friends. Guests will leave having had a fun, socially interactive experience, plus three seasonal cocktail recipes including garnishes and techniques. Other things to note: We must comply with all state and local laws and regulations regarding the service of alcohol and blood alcohol level.

Have you ever been interested in woodworking but never had the tools to try it out? In this 2 hour workshop, you will learn how to make a pen from a block of wood, by turning it on a wood lathe. The class will start out by reviewing basic safety for working with the machines and the tools. I will demonstrate each step in great detail before giving you the opportunity to try it out on your own. Wood, a pen kit, and finishing materials will be provided to each participant to make one slim-style pen. Absolutely no prior experience is required and is suitable for ages 12+. You will leave this experience with a hand-made treasure that will last you a lifetime!

Gujarati Food is something you have never tried in any Indian restaurant before. I'm the author of a cookbook titled "From Gujarat, With Love." I designed this book to be a unique expression of our culinary identity. To make this happen, I've worked with a world-class celebrity photographer Jonathan Lovekin to shoot food photos. As a result, I have recaptured and recreated the authentic flavors of my homeland. Ultimately, it is my dream to create the Gujarat version of Plenty and my mission to share these recipes with the entire world—from my kitchen to yours. The cooking experience features a clever and unique combination of distinctive, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors simultaneously. We will prepare two of the most popular appetizers, one entree, and the well-loved Indian bread from scratch from my collection of recipes that I have curated and perfected over the last 30+ years. The experience will start with a glass of wine where guests can mingle. And then we will prepare two famous Gujarati appetizers, which Gujarati cuisine is known for. Gujarat is the KING of appetizers, and these appetizers are super healthy and a gift from Gujarat to the rest of the world. After preparing the food, we will have a nice sit-down meal together as a group with a nicely paired wine with Gujarati-style Indian food (aka thali) and 3 complementary side dishes that compliment the main meal.

Join me on a journey to unlock the mindset of the world's top rock climbers while playing interactive climbing games along the way! Together, we’ll explore what it takes to climb at the highest level, all while learning to cultivate this mindset ourselves. Whether you’re new to climbing or you’re already an experienced climber, my goal with this experience is to help you unlock your creativity & gain the skills necessary to tackle your next challenge with confidence. In this class, we’ll primarily focus on active visualization (route reading) and how to apply it to climbing and beyond. First, we’ll analyze footage of the best climbers in the world across multiple disciplines and define active visualization. Next, we’ll warm up and practice the visualization techniques we just learned. Finally, I’ll share some of my most valuable mental training activities through virtual interactive games we'll play together. Throughout the class, we’ll open up the discussion to any questions you may have. Looking forward to sharing this experience with you soon! ** No prior experience nor equipment required ** Online rock climbing class. For corporate bookings, team-building events, birthday parties, or private events, please send a private message to book in advance. IG: @joshlevin94
