Join Naturalist Jack Dash for a culinary storytelling event focused on the wild and cultivated food plants of southern Arizona! Attendees will learn the historic and contemporary uses of several Sonoran Desert species while enjoying the flavors of dishes such as palo verde bean edamame, candied barrel cactus fruit, prickly pear and agave agua fresca, and mesquite crackers, all accompanied by wines made in Southern Arizona! Connect with the foods and dishes that have sustained people living in the Sonoran Desert for millennia.

Attendees will be provided with two glasses of wine to accompany a series of seasonally-appropriate small appetizers.
