A cornerstone of the Sonoma community for decades.

Visit WebsiteThe 2-4 day Culinary Retreat — ten students, three days of hands-on cooking, market visits, winery lunches, and a final group dinner students prepare together. The deepest cooking-immersion format Sonoma offers.
Ramekins Culinary School is a cornerstone of the Sonoma community for decades — one of the oldest cooking schools in Sonoma County, located inside the Seven Branches Venue and Inn property a few blocks from the Sonoma Plaza. The school runs hands-on classes for the public, demonstration classes for groups who want to watch and eat without cooking, and 2-4 day Culinary Retreats limited to ten students each, an immersive format that has built a returning audience among serious home cooks. Class topics rotate seasonally with rotating chef instructors drawn from the deeper Bay Area culinary network.
The Sonoma Plaza location is the editorial advantage — students walk to class, walk back to lunch, and the surrounding wine country is built into the curriculum. Hands-on classes range from pasta-making and sauce fundamentals to wine country dinner construction and seasonal menu deep-dives. The 2-4 day Culinary Retreats are the signature format: ten guests, three full days of cooking, market visits, winery lunches, and a final dinner the students prepare together. Private group classes from $140 per person with a 10-person minimum work for corporate offsites and bachelor/bachelorette groups looking for something other than tasting rooms. The institutional reputation is the trust signal here — Ramekins has been training Sonoma home cooks long enough to have repeat students from twenty years back.
