We look forward to welcoming you virtually into our homes, cooking and swirling glasses together. We offer informal, interactive group cooking lessons and wine & cheese tastings that change every month. We love to offer a variety of lessons, but we also repeat favorites by popular demand.

For cooking classes, there is a minimum of three (3) registered devices needed for the class to run;
For wine & cheese tastings, there is a minimum of five (5) registered devices needed for the class to run;
Participants who have registered will be notified of any change in class time by the following deadlines:

In the event that the class date and time are changed, participants have the option to A) participate in the newly scheduled lesson, B) use the credit toward a future lesson, or C) receive a full refund.
