No binoculars? No problem! We've got you covered with quality binoculars and a high-powered spotting scope to bring those birds up close! We want to help beginners get out and appreciate the bird world. Don't be shy if you've never birded before - that's what we're here for! (All experience levels are welcome though.) You'll meet us for a slow meander along Sonoma County's bucolic West County Regional Trail in Sebastopol. There, we'll look at, listen to, and identify a variety of songbirds, woodpeckers, raptors, and much more. Time allowing, we’ll walk 1 mile to a water treatment pond for a chance to see some duck species before birding our way back (a flat, paved 2-mile roundtrip). We’ll send you home with a paper checklist of the species we observed throughout our walk. And, if you're on eBird, we will share the day's checklist with you. We guarantee you'll leave with an increased appreciation of the bird life that surrounds us! If there are any specific birding skills you'd like to focus on improving (visual ID, birding by ear, etc.), let us know and we'll be happy to tailor the walk to your interests. If you don’t see a time that fits your schedule, or if you're a group larger than 6, contact us and we’ll try to accommodate you! PLEASE NOTE: There are no restrooms at this location.

First things first... Your driver will arrive to pick up the group at the address you provide upon booking your experience with a splash of sparkling wine for everyone to toast before embarking on your adventure in wine country. A basket of light snacks will be available for your group to enjoy in between winery visits as well as plenty of water to stay hydrated. Now, it’s off to the wineries! Typically, we will visit 2-3 wineries (based upon timing and location of Airbnb), one stop either offering a food and wine pairing or a picnic lunch. o Picnic Lunch option o If you choose the picnic lunch option, you do have the flexibility to choose a casual picnic lunch or a more elaborate offering. The cost of food is dependent on your meal choices. o A menu will be provided for you to choose from. We will place the order, pickup, and set up the picnic at the winery with dinnerware and some fun décor for the table. A few things to remember.... o Wineries do require reservations be made in advance and will require a credit card. o You will receive an itinerary prior to the date of your experience with a brief description of each winery you will visit. Sit back and relax.... After the last winery visit your driver will make sure you are back at your vacation home safe and sound. We look forward to welcoming you to Wine Country!!

After arriving, guests will enjoy a short time of introductions. After being introduced to the space and to each other, I will provide a quick demonstration on the pottery wheel with a small amount of clay. Afterwards, each guest will be allowed time to create a piece on the wheel from beginning to end with personal instruction and assistance from me. Guests are welcome to make anything they would like to on the wheel! Cup, bowl, vase, dish, etc. The firing of pottery is a long process that is separate from the time we spend on the wheel. Each piece requires two 8-10 hour monitored sessions in a kiln, and I hand glaze each piece. I offer kiln services out of my personal studio if you have interest in having your piece fired for a small fee that is not due the day of the experience. I do not include this in the price of the experience because some guests do not wish to keep their piece. *The time noted on the experience, 2 hours, is generally descriptive of a 2 person experience which encompasses the majority of my bookings. In general, the experience is 1 hour per person. If there are 3 or 4 people in the booking, likely the experience will extend the 2 hour session time, and if there is 1 person in the booking it will be closer to an hour. Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting some clay on. Clay will wash out, but you may not want to go out right after.

We'll start with a tour of the sanctuary where you'll meet a variety of rescued farm animals. We'll share their stories of resilience and healing and talk a bit more about the industries they come from. You'll love meeting our animal ambassadors and may be surprised at what you learn, since we so rarely see the animals in our food system. Join us afterwards at our picnic tables in the field for a glass of local wine and a vegan cheese and charcuterie platter. (Note: The platter contains nuts and gluten unless otherwise requested. Please inform us of any allergies when you make your booking so we can be sure to provide suitable options. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be served.) The Experience will last approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Please be mindful that as a sanctuary for rescued animals, our priority is the physical and emotional well being of the rescued animals who call Charlie's Acres home. Our loved animal residents are completely free and always have a choice as to whether or not they want to interact with visitors. They will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives, where we'll have the honor of taking care of them.

During this class you will learn and hands-on do all the steps to make a beautiful artisan-quality loaf of sourdough bread both with and without the hassle of making a sourdough starter.

The experience will be hands-on and you will learn some valuable cooking skills and tips in this robust class—and at the end of the class you’ll get to take home the loaf of bread you baked, to enjoy later as a delicious souvenir. This is a great class for beginners, or intermediate bakers, as well as for people who want to learn many general cooking tips, and who want to enjoy a delicious 4-course brunch with a complimentary glass of California bubbly.
