Guests will come in, sit down, listen to the chef as they go over the menu, head into the kitchen for quick demonstrations, and then split into small groups to work on each part of the menu. Our instructors will be on site to guide you through the each dish. Once cooking is complete, guests will head back to their seats and dine on their freshly created meal. Of all our recreational cooking classes, this is ourmost popular staple.

Held Select Saturday Evenings (6:00pm – 8:00pm)

With each course, our staff will talk about the food as well as discussing the wine’s taste, variety, background, and vintage. For a food and wine pairing, you’d be hard pressed to find a tastier option.
