SVTAGS - The Picnic Guild & OrganicopiaSilicon Valley Technology, Art, Green and Sustainability talk show with host and Executive Producer Heather Durham. Guests are Renee Guild the Chef/Owner of The Picnic Guild, and Chef Molly Holbrook of Organicopia. The theme of the episode is around food and sustainability. The idea for “The Picnic Guild” was born from Renée and her family’s experiences picnicking throughout the world, particularly in Italy, New Zealand and the Sierra Nevadas, and Renee’s love of cooking fresh ingredients to consume “al fresco”. Coupled with the sense that others would appreciate having beautiful picnics waiting for them at the wineries of the Santa Cruz Mountains, she created a business designed to enhance the enjoyment of the region’s landscape and beautiful wines.
