Craft Born of This Place
For as long as there have been places, what a place makes has been a part of its fabric, its identity. That’s at the very heart of Appellation. 

The products of a place and the people who make them do more to define a region than any map or guide. 

That’s why Appellation weaves local people, materials, and ingredients into every part of its hotels, restaurants, and spas. Local artisans have space here to hone their craft and share their knowledge; you’ll find classes and demonstrations happening throughout your stay.

We invite you to really experience your destination: not just by seeing, but by doing. Help an expert chocolatier make chocolate and try a taste, learn how to block print from a professional designer, or get your hands dirty and create a dynamic, eye-catching moss installation to bring home.

Through these hands-on courses led by local makers, you’ll craft beautiful things, create new memories, and make new friends. You’ll come to Appellation not as an outsider, but as a part of the community.
