Great as a gift for a partner or friend. 3 hours of fun, informative, bottomless wine. Very friendly and helpful instructors. Once you finish you sit down to eat and aren’t rushed out at all even after 10pm you can relax and finish your food/wine

What a gem of a place! I've been to cookery classes before but this one tops them all. So fun, even if you are attending solo like I was. The perfect combination of instruction, participation and warm, friendly camaraderie. So generous too, we learned more than one recipe, all in an intimate professional kitchen. Food was amazing as well. If you are decided whether to register, YES you should. Such a great value for money. I loved the entire experience!
