Sip & Sourdough Christmas class at Saint Croix Vineyards – Stillwater, MN

Celebrate the Christmas season with a cozy, hands-on holiday sourdough class at Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater, MN! Join me, The Sourdough Lady, as featured on KSTP Twin Cities Live, for a festive evening of wine and sourdough.

A special holiday-edition class, offered only during the Christmas season. Together we’ll mix a beautiful Christmas Sourdough Loaf with orange zest, rosemary, cranberries, and walnuts. You’ll also make a dehydrated sourdough starter ornament and learn creative ways to gift sourdough this season, from sharing your starter to wrapping homemade loaves for friends and family.

We’ll add extra holiday cheer with Christmas music and raffle drawings for sourdough-themed prizes. Wear your favorite Christmas sweater or apron and bring a friend (each guest needs their own ticket).

No sourdough experience needed. I’ll walk you through every step, from feeding your starter to shaping and baking at home. If you’ve taken one of my classes before, this festive edition is a fun way to build on your skills with holiday flavors and gifting ideas you won’t get in my regular classes.

What we’ll cover:

• How sourdough works and how to feed, care for, and maintain your starter
• Mixing and developing dough by hand
• Adding holiday inclusions (orange zest, rosemary, cranberries, walnuts)
• Bulk fermentation, cold fermentation, shaping, and baking at home
• How to make a dehydrated starter ornament to keep or gift
• Holiday sourdough gifting: wrapping loaves and sharing your starter
• Tips and tricks for sourdough success, with plenty of time for Q&A

• One medium-large bowl (for mixing and taking your dough home)
