The Art of Coffee Brewing

Join Wolf Coffee owner and expert Nick Castelli for a sensory deep dive into the craft of brewing, from bean to cup. This hands-on session covers brewing methods (pour-over, French press, and drip), grind size, water quality, and how to build a sustainable and straightforward home setup & routine. Guests will taste side-by-side brews and leave with clear, practical steps to improve their daily cup.

Features

An expert from Wolf Coffee, a Sonoma County establishment for 30 years, will guide you through the process of understanding how beans are sourced and then roasted.
You’ll then get to try a range of single-origin beans provided by Wolf Coffee, playing with mixing and matching them until you create your very own individual blend.
Wear comfortable clothing and, most importantly, bring an open mind and a spirit of curiosity.
Appellation's chef crafted seasonal bites and local Sonoma County wines will be shared to compliment the class conversations.
