Cooperative Extension announces upcoming ‘Night Out’ programs

[NC Cooperative Extension]

Do you need a night out where you can enjoy learning new things while having fun? Are you looking for a last-minute Christmas present for two? N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center is partnering with Sanctuary Vineyards again this winter to offer a Night Out with Extension.

Classes will be held at Sanctuary Vineyards from 5:30 – 7:00 and will include food and a free wine tasting for attendees over 21 with valid identification. A class fee of $20.00 will cover class materials and giveaways. Wine is not covered in the cost of the ticket, but will be available to purchase. If you want to purchase two tickets, call the Currituck Extension Office at 252-232-2261 for a discounted second ticket. The discounted ticket will not receive any promotional items purchased for the class, but will still include food and the wine tasting.

January 11th: Seafood

In our seafood class, we’ll cover what’s in season, selection, where you can purchase local seafood, and of course, how to cook a few delicious seafood dishes! In this class, we will prepare seafood dishes for everyone to enjoy while sampling Sanctuary Vineyards wine pairings. 

February 8th: Microgreens

We’ll learn to de-stress in the garden by making our own aquaponic fish-bowl microgreen gardens that participants will take home. We will cover sources for fresh, local greens, taste some delicious dishes prepared with greens, and of course, have an opportunity to taste which Sanctuary Vineyards wine pairs well with our dishes. 

March 8th: Pasta

In our pasta class, we’ll make three different kinds of pasta from scratch: spaghetti, ravioli, and cavatelli, with and without a pasta maker. Participants will sample the homemade pasta dishes and the Sanctuary Vineyards wine that pairs well with them, and take home fresh pasta and a pasta cooking tool so they can make their very own homemade pasta! 

April 12th: Cheese

In our cheese class, we’ll teach you how to make a delicious queso fresco at home! This Mexican cheese is a soft white cheese that can be served on a number of dishes, and we’ll sample our homemade cheese on a taco bar, paired with a Sanctuary Vineyards wine tasting.
