North Park: Cooking With Wine Class ~ Mediterranean Fare Sat. 8/5

Join us for our next cooking class!

After YEARS of requests for this type of experience, we are thrilled to now offer a monthly cooking class to our ever-growing list of events! These monthly classes are held in our North Park location. They provide a fantastic way to learn how to prepare two different appetizers, each paired with a different wine. You’ll have the opportunity to help prepare each appetizer, or you can just observe Chef Erin. Your level of involvement is entirely up to you, no pressure! During the first 45 minutes you’ll have a 5 oz glass of wine to enjoy while preparing the ingredients for two appetizers. During this time, we’ll also discuss the paring aspect of the different ingredients with each wine. For the second half of the class, we’ll focus on plating technique and enjoying our creations alongside the two paired wines. This unique and dynamic environment will allow for some imparting of knowledge, but also just a chance for wine and food lovers to converse about the many facets of wine, food and the culture of both. For our August Cooking Class, we’ll feature two versatile, Mediterranean appetizers, perfect for those hot summer nights. Both can be made ahead of time, so you can spend more time with your guests. Each attendee will have their own appetizers to enjoy. At the end of the class, you’ll take home printed recipes and have the opportunity to purchase the wines presented. These events are a great way to enjoy a light lunch experience. You do have the option during check out to add on a cheeseboard and/or bottle of bubbles to make the event a bit more substantial way to enjoy your afternoon.

* Please note, this event will take place on the second floor in an event space. A flight of exterior, low-rise stairs is the only way to access this event area.
