RELISH CULINARY ADVENTURES - Key Persons


Donna del Rey - Founder

Job Titles:
  • Founder
  • Owner
Donna created Relish Culinary Adventures in 2003 to share the flavors and personalities of Sonoma County with others. After more than two decades in various marketing and business development roles for an industry-leading scientific software company, a move to Sonoma County with its bounty of amazing foods and makers solidified her desire to transition to the culinary world. Donna is not a professional chef; she sees herself as an adventurous learner eager to create and share memorable food experiences. "A Relish event is so much more than a cooking class," says Donna. "We combine amazing Sonoma County ingredients, talented and engaging wine country makers, and unique rural locations to create convivial culinary adventures that, hopefully, inspire guests to create great food in their own kitchens." Donna and her husband Jim Morris, who is a wine industry executive, are a perfect food and wine pairing.
