Craft a Walnut Charcuterie Board Workshop
A Hands-On Artisan Woodworking Experience for Private Groups
Finally, a Napa Valley Experience
That Isn't Wine Tasting.
The vineyard tours are booked. The tastings, the pairings, the barrel room — it's a solid itinerary. But there are only so many glasses you can swirl before one beautiful tasting room starts to look like the next.
This woodworking experience is something else entirely. A working artisan studio in Downtown Napa. Raw California Black Walnut milled from fallen trees within 100 miles of Napa Valley. Real tools, real craft, and a hands-on woodworking class that has nothing to do with what's in the glass — and everything to do with what your group builds together.
Each person leaves with a one-of-a-kind handcrafted walnut charcuterie board they selected, branded, and finished by hand. Not a gift shop souvenir. A real piece of artisan craft they participated in.
Whether you're organizing a corporate retreat, an executive offsite, a family celebration, or a milestone birthday — this Napa Valley woodworking workshop is the luxury experience people talk about long after the trip is over.
Why Groups Choose This Woodworking Experience
Ideal for larger groups who want a meaningful shared woodworking experience without a steep time commitment. Florian opens with a brief education on the wood — where it came from, how it was milled, what makes California Black Walnut so rare and sought-after. He then demonstrates the craft of board making from start to finish.
From there, each guest selects their own pre-shaped walnut board — each one unique in grain pattern and character — and finishes it themselves: sanding, branding with the Made in Napa mark, and hand-applying oil until the wood comes alive under their hands.
They leave with a handcrafted board they finished themselves. They leave knowing they made something together in one of Napa Valley's most distinctive artisan studios.
For groups where the goal is genuine connection — not just a shared woodworking experience, but real conversation, real collaboration, real time together away from screens and agendas in Napa Valley.
The Master Workshop includes everything from The Novice, but goes deeper: more hands-on participation in the artisan craft process, larger boards with more complex finishing, and significantly more one-on-one time with Florian. Groups are smaller by nature, which means the luxury woodworking experience is more intimate — and the team-building is more meaningful.
This workshop also includes a private tour of Florian's art gallery next door — a collection that quietly reflects twenty-five years of working with rare California wood at the highest level of craftsmanship.
When the goal is for people to actually remember the Napa Valley trip, this is the woodworking workshop to book.
