Cooking Classes

Our classes are small – under 12 students per class - and are designed for anyone who wants to cook, from the beginner to the more experienced home chef. Students will expand skills and knowledge, learn new techniques, and gain confidence in the kitchen. All classes are hands-on!

Students work with fresh seasonal farmers’ produce and other healthful ingredients to prepare gourmet meals in a relaxed setting. Each student receives a recipe packet and all classes culminate with a sit-down dinner. We serve one glass of wine per person at each class.
