FIELD TO FIELD… The folks at Folktale Winery & Vineyards are cooking up a new culinary experience. Feast will be like a weekend cookout, only elevated. Think freshly caught seafood, meats and produce from local farms, with Chef Justin Robarge and his team preparing everything outdoors over a wood fire. And there will be no walls. Feast will exist on a knoll in the vineyard, distant from the winery buildings. Expect Feast to open its… vines?… in time for summer. In the meantime, Folktale offers Wine 201 Class on Monday, March 27 from 4-6pm in the winery’s barrel room. Learn barrel tasting, blending and more. You do not have to have passed Wine 101 to enroll. 8940 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel. 293-7500, folktalewinery.com
