BBQ Spice Blending Workshop

Join us for an immersive BBQ Spice Blending Workshop hosted by the team at Solvang Spice at a private garden property in downtown Solvang. Inspired by the beloved spice blending experience featured at Alisal Guest Ranch’s BBQ Bootcamp, this hands-on workshop invites guests to explore the world of barbecue through the art and history of spices. Throughout the experience, our team will guide you through the origins, flavor profiles, and best culinary uses of a wide variety of spices and seasonings. You’ll learn how different flavors work together, how regional BBQ traditions influence spice blends, and how to build balanced rubs and seasonings for everything from brisket and ribs to vegetables and grilled seafood. Guests will create and take home four custom BBQ blends along with a curated set of recipes and usage ideas to continue experimenting at home. Location details provided after booking. Workshops are held outdoors in a relaxed garden setting under canopy shade. Please plan for changing weather conditions, including sun, wind, and temperature variations, and dress comfortably for an outdoor experience. Space is limited and workshops will close automatically once fully booked. Solvang Spice Merchant reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a workshop for any reason. In the event of a cancellation by Solvang Spice Merchant, guests will receive a full refund. Workshops may also be cancelled if minimum attendance is not met. If this occurs, registered guests will be notified and issued a full refund. Due to limited seating and advance preparation, cancellations made within 48 hours of the workshop are non-refundable.
