Our first-ever international Guildhall Gathering is taking us all the way to Panama City, Panama!
Join us at Gamboa Baking Co. for an evening of wood-fired pizza, drinks, and conversation. Owner and baker Brian Winzenried will open the doors to his bakery for a tour and then fire up his signature tiled domed oven, turning out pizzas fresh from the flames. We'll also be joined by Guild Board Member, baker, and teacher Edna Cochez.
Guildhall Gatherings are all about community—a place to kick back over a beer, swap stories from the bench, and meet others who care deeply about the craft. Whether or not you're a Guild member, you’re invited to make new connections and experience the spirit of the Guild.

Guildhall Gathering en Gamboa Baking Co. (Panamá City)
19 de octubre I 7:00 - 9:00PM EST
Acompáñanos en Gamboa Baking Co. para una reunión muy especial de panaderos o panaderos en potencia, donde probaremos pizza al horno de leña, y habrá bebidas y buena conversación. El propietario y panadero Brian Winzenried abrirá las puertas de su panadería para ofrecernos un recorrido de sus instalaciones y luego encenderá su característico horno de pizza, donde preparará pizzas recién salidas del fuego. También contaremos con la presencia de Edna Cochez, miembro de la Junta Directiva del Guild, panadera y docente.
Los Encuentros Guildhall se centran en la comunidad: un espacio para relajarse, compartir una cerveza, intercambiar historias y experiencias del oficio, y conocer a otras personas apasionadas por la panadería artesanal. Seas o no miembro del Guild, estás invitado a establecer nuevas conexiones y vivir el espíritu del Guild.
Brian Winzenried is a classically trained baker with a career that began at the French Culinary Institute and continued through several bakeries in New York City. Brian later returned to take over a family bakery in Madison, Wisconsin, where he spent 12 years as owner and head baker, carrying on a tradition of craftsmanship while developing my own style and approach.
In 2024, his passion for baking brought him to Panama, where he opened Gamboa Baking Co. There, he has brought together his New York experience, family baking traditions, and a love of European-style baking and Neapolitan pizza. It’s an exciting new chapter in his journey, combining the techniques and traditions he learned throughout his career with the vibrant setting of Central America.
