From California to Your Kitchen: Live Classes With Long-Time Winery Chef Brian Streeter Blend Wine Country Ingredients with Real-World Cooking Know-How

RUTHERFORD, Calif., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, home chefs across the country can savor the flavors of Napa Valley without leaving home. Cakebread Cellars, the celebrated family-owned winery known for its iconic Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and culinary heritage, launches "Vine & Dine," a new virtual cooking series in partnership with the chef-led platform Home Ec.

Kicking off August 14 and 25 with subsequent classes to be announced in the fall, "Vine & Dine" brings the warmth and sophistication of the Napa Valley to home kitchens through interactive, live-streamed cooking classes led by the winery's Executive Chef Brian Streeter. Inspired by the winery's often sold-out Cooking with Cakebread program, each session pairs curated seasonal recipes with perfectly matched Cakebread Cellars wines, offering a hands-on tasting experience that reflects the winery's food-first philosophy. Broadcast from co-founder Dolores Cakebread's home kitchen at the winery, the classes offer real-time guidance, opportunities to ask questions and a direct line into Cakebread's signature hospitality.

For the first sessions, participants can expect a seasonal tomato-themed class, featuring Andouille Crusted Filet Mignon with Blistered Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic Sauce paired with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Tiered ticket options are available, starting at $25 for live class access and digital materials. A premium package, priced at $190, includes a delivery of groceries and a promo code to purchase Cakebread Cellars wine pairings. All tickets include a digital recipe guide, wine pairing notes and access to a class replay. Registration is now open at www.homeec.co/cakebread, where guests can reserve their spots and view upcoming menus and pricing.

"Dolores Cakebread, our winery's co-founder, laid the groundwork for everything we do in the kitchen today. She believed great wine was meant to be shared with great food," said Chef Brian Streeter, Executive Chef at Cakebread Cellars. "With 'Vine & Dine,' we're inviting people into that legacy. You'll cook with the same seasonal ingredients we use here in Napa, learn the techniques we've refined over decades and experience the warmth that's defined Cakebread Cellars hospitality since the beginning, all from your own home."

Long before food-and-wine pairings became trendy, Dolores was crafting meals for harvest crews from scratch. That humble tradition evolved into a revered culinary program that attracts visitors from around the world. Having joined Cakebread Cellars in 1989 and working closely with Dolores for more than 15 years, Brian ensures that her legacy lives on in the resident winery chefs, intimate cooking classes and now, through "Vine & Dine," on a national digital stage.

"Translating the depth of Cakebread Cellars' culinary program into a virtual format was a creative challenge we were excited to take on," said Brit Obenauer, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Home Ec. "Their team brought incredible perspective on food and wine, and we helped deliver that knowledge in an experience that feels approachable and easy to follow at home, with the structure and style that define Home Ec's classes."

The Home Ec platform, known for its polished, chef-led virtual classes, is the ideal platform for Cakebread Cellars to deepen its connection with foodies around the country. Together, the two brands bring decades of culinary experience and digital know-how to a format that's as inspiring as it is accessible.
