From Starter to Shaping
Join us at the serene Islay Gardens for this hands-on class designed to give you the confidence to bake sourdough at home — from scratch. You’ll learn how to mix, fold, and shape dough, how to care for your starter, and how to recognize signs of strong fermentation.
Each participant will go home with: – One batch of shaped dough to bake the next day – One batch of mixed dough to shape and bake at home – A jar of sourdough starter you’ll mix yourself and learn how to feed – A printed guide to support you at home.
Class includes a light harvest-style meal featuring seasonal salads and fresh bread from the bakery. Home Crush Outlet will be open for a private shopping experience and is offering a DIY Mocktail bar that you can enjoy. All levels welcome but this class really speaks to the beginner. Come ready to work with your hands, ask questions, and enjoy good food around the table.
Email with further instructions will be sent closer to the date.
Come for the craft, stay for the connection. $95 PER PERSON INCLUDES REFRESHMENTS (AGES 12 AND UP)
Spaces are limited — we would be honored to welcome you.

A New Addition to Santa Barbara’s Social Scene
Ready to shake up your usual Friday evening plans? Date Night in the Garden is Santa Barbara’s newest intimate experience—where music, flavor, and connection come alive under the stars.
We started Taste Makers Market with a mission to provide fresh and locally featured artisanal gourmet products to our community. Promoting local chef and bakers is the best way to foster community and keep each market fresh!
We work with over 40 artisan chefs and vendors who bring a variety of baked goods, produce, mixology and confections as well as a pinch of home and garden to Taste Makers Market every month. Our vendors are all local farmers and artisans and mixologists who share our commitment to sustainable agriculture and food.
Featuring a carousel of local entertainers, bands, singer songwriters and live entertainment at private pop up feasts.
