How about a different kind of adventure the next time you’re in Santa Ynez Valley wine country? Take a break from tasting all those fantastic wines and have Peter be your culinary guide to his vision for Farm-to-Table fine dinning with a Pig Roast Weekend. You’ll be joined by some of the valley’s finest winemakers and growers.

Here are a few details for the event which is limited to first 40 people. People can arrive at any time during the process.

This is the only auction item that will turn into an Offline!

I think we should put the participants right here on the thread, so Brig and I will try to keep it updated…

In for 4 tickets!! WooHoo, SYV Berserkerfest!!!

Damn STRAIGHT we expect you and Dana there, bitches!

two tix please

Saturday is the main event. We will put the pig into the transmogrifier at 8 am then make breakfast USING ONLY thermal energy, ferrous metal and farm products. Folks can go wine tasting in the valley, or, frolic and detour taking turns guarding the pig, playing bocce & horse shoes, and carnal cuddling with carnitas. Hopefully the transformation into food will have occurred by 6 pm and we will thereafter put the pig into our bellies.

***On Friday afternoon, those carnivores who would like to participate in gently and humanely transforming a living farm animal into its intended purpose, can participate in harvesting and preparing the pig for Saturday. Which will be followed with making tortillas by hand and dinner, and a fire. You can also come just for dinner Friday, which will probably be around 7 pm.

On Sunday, those still able, can regroup to cook breakfast, search for bodies missing from the preceding day, and/or settle any bocce or horse shoe vendettas.

Where is the event actually held?

Are you making Morcilla??? [snort.gif]

Man, I so want to do this. Is anyone willing to convert my vegetarian wife over the summer?

This…this sounds vaguely familiar on the Carg Compound.

At the vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, between Lompoc and Buellton. I’ll post a list of hotels later if folks need them. I’d suggest staying in Lompoc for ease of taxi use/sharing.

Peter!

We’ll be in Cali July 20-Aug 17 but we haven’t even started the sched yet. PLEASE put us on the stand-by list…if such a thing. :smiley:

Roast pig…hell yes in for 2!

Yes, in for two!

Me two!

Put me down for 2

So bummed we’ll be in NYC or my wife and I would definitely attend. Enjoy!

I’ll commit to this. One please.

Please sign me up with a +1!

So close to bottling and harvest prep otherwise I would be in.
