Cooking Party with the Chef: Gourmet Gourds at Messina Hof

Join us in learning about how to use an uncommon and underappreciated ingredient to make delicious meals at Gourmet Gourds!

Theme: Gourmet Gourds

A gourd is a hard-shelled, versatile fruit commonly used in fall decorations. Some gourds are too hard-shelled to cook, but many are delicious household favorites! Pumpkin and butternut squash are just a few examples of the underappreciated food group. Join our chef as he dives into the food group to teach you how to utilize and enjoy gourds in your home while sipping on our award-winning wine!

Every month the Messina Hof Estate in Bryan hosts a Cooking Party (a special demonstration focusing on a specific cuisine or technique) featuring our Vineyard Cuisine. If you're a beginner, we've got you covered with beginner information, and if you're already quite the chef, you'll appreciate the huge selection of information on spices, cuts of meat, kitchen tools, and more. Each guest will receive a cookbook with the recipes from the meal to take home and you have a chance to win an awesome door prize!
