Flower Cookie Making
Elizabeth Poett
MAY 9th | 3 PM
Gather around the table for a hands-on springtime baking experience with Elizabeth Poett, seventh-generation cattle rancher and host of Ranch to Table. Rooted in seasonal ingredients and simple, thoughtful techniques, this relaxed class invites guests to create beautiful flower-inspired cookies while learning Elizabeth’s ranch-inspired approach to cooking. Drawing from her upbringing at historic Rancho San Julian and her passion for sharing food as a way to connect, Elizabeth brings the spirit of the Central Coast to the kitchen. It’s an inviting, creative way to slow down, celebrate the season, and enjoy a sweet taste of spring at the ranch.
Boots & Blooms Activities
Join us for an oil-based canvas painting class designed for ages 7 and up. Priced at $80 per person and limited to just 10 guests, this intimate class offers thoughtful instruction and plenty of creative freedom. Hosted on the front entrance lawn, it’s a relaxed, artful way to spend an afternoon at the ranch, with final location details confirmed the week of.
A little luck, a little symbolism, and a whole lot of beauty. In this intimate workshop, we’ll adorn classic horseshoes with seasonal blooms (dried and fresh), textural greens, and delicate ribbon – transforming them into sculptural pieces meant to hang above a doorway, in a playroom, or anywhere you’d like to invite luck. Flower-adorned horseshoes are keepsakes that feel both rustic and refined…a keepsake to remember your time at Alisal Ranch.
This workshop blends charm and elegance in the most delightful way. Guests will design a full, garden-style arrangement inside a ceramic pitcher, working with premium seasonal blooms and layered textures for that effortless “just gathered” feel. It’s playful but polished – a statement piece that feels at home on a farmhouse table or in a beautifully curated kitchen.
There’s something timeless about wearing flowers. In this hands-on experience, we’ll guide you through creating your own fresh floral crown using delicate blooms, airy greens, and soft movement – designed to feel romantic, modern, and entirely wearable. It’s part celebration, part self-expression – and the kind of workshop that turns into laughter, photos, and unforgettable memories.
Step out of the bar and into the wild. This unique two-part experience bridges California’s rugged landscape with the refined world of craft mixology.
We have partnered with Ventura Spirits, local legends known for distilling the literal essence of the Central Coast, to guide you in identifying, harvesting, and transforming wild botanicals into world class drinks. From sage covered hillsides to the salty coastline, discover the ingredients that make our region taste like nowhere else on Earth.
Celebrate the season through wreath making, layering lavender, strawflower, dried florals, and greenery onto a natural grapevine frame. Designed for ages 10 and up and priced at $75 per person, this seasonal class invites guests to slow down, work with their hands, and craft something both beautiful and lasting. Participation is limited to 20 guests to ensure a relaxed, creative experience.
Join us in the Oak Bar as we explore the delicate art of using florals, herbs, and wild botanicals to create sophisticated, layered cocktails. Whether you’re a seasoned home bartender or a curious beginner, you’ll learn how to balance the perfume of florals with craft spirits and garnish like a pro, creating a beautiful and balanced cocktail.
