UC Davis Presents Good Life Garden: Growing Our Food

Click here to view the event information:  event_flyer1.pdf   This is a spectacular opportunity to sample a wonderful array of regional farm-raised and artisan-crafted products. Attendees will have the opportunity to taste products ranging from heirloom tomatoes and wine grapes to caviar, handcrafted cheeses, bread, chocolate, and smoked fish. Also included is a selection of Yolo and Sacramento County wine and beer.

Located at the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science, this new UC Davis Garden celebrates good food and good health. The garden links the culinary arts, nutrition, and wine and food sciences in an academic setting; and offers year-round public events, workshops, internships, and volunteer opportunities.

The first 200 guests to register for this debut event supporting the UC Davis Good Live Garden at the Robert Mondave Institute for Wine and Food Science will become a “Friend of the Garden” and will be eligible to receive discounts at future Good Life Garden events.
