A 4-Day Italian Cooking Workshop at Quillisascut Farm
July 31 – August 3, 2025
Escape to the Farm. Cook from the Land. Savor Every Moment.
Join us this summer for a hands-on culinary retreat where Italy’s rich flavors meet the wild abundance of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled in the serene hills of Rice, Washington, Quillisascut Farm is your home for four days of connection, inspiration, and seriously delicious food.
Led by Paola Albanesi of Paola’s Italian Kitchen this immersive workshop blends Italian culinary traditions with farm-to-table living. We’ll harvest, cook, and dine together in the rhythm of the land, learning from the animals, gardens, and each other.
