Fermentation Workshop

with Daniela Pacurar (Transylvania Girl Homestead)

Tuesday, August 18 | Doors Open: 6 pm | Class: 6:30-8 pm | Ballroom

$48/class

Discover the art of fermentation in this hands-on workshop with Daniela Pacurar of Transylvania Girl Homestead. Learn how to make three delicious fermented drinks—kombucha, probiotic soda, and kvass—while gaining a better understanding of the fermentation process and how to confidently create these flavorful beverages at home.

Each participant will go home with two starter cultures (one for kombucha and one for probiotic soda) to begin their own fermentation journey. Daniela will share practical tips, techniques, and recipes to help you brew healthy, refreshing drinks at a fraction of the cost of store-bought options.

Your registration also includes one drink to enjoy during class, with the bar open for additional purchases. This two-hour workshop is perfect for beginners or anyone interested in learning the basics of fermentation in a fun, relaxed, and social setting.
