Cooking & Tasting with Brud Holland Series | 2026
Join us in 2026 from January to May for this year’s five-part series: Cooking & Tasting with Brud! Brud Holland, Fox Run Vineyard’s Chef and longtime culinary instructor brings his easygoing style together with new recipes, new wines, and some fascinating background on both the food scene and winemaking in the Finger Lakes. Classes will include recipes, a demonstration of cooking the recipes, and a tasting of the food along with the wine pairing. Brud will share tips, tricks, and interesting nuggets of information that will provide new insights into the wide-ranging culture of winemaking in the Finger Lakes: how different landscapes of vineyard sites affect grapes, comparing conditions on the eastern and western shores of many Finger Lakes vineyards, and what ultimately ends up in the bottle!
Class #5 | Paella Party!
In his last class of 2026, Brud will be joined by Julian from PINTXO Wine & Tapas Bar to cook together and introduce you to Spain, the incredible food, and the perfect wine pairings. Brud will be making:
Traditional Spanish appetizers like chorizo, canned fish & olives
Paella!
NOTE: if you have any food allergies, please call 171 and let us know before your class. Brud will try to make an accommodation.
