About:
One of our few classes that does not incorporate hands-on cooking. Instead, guests sit down, meet our chef(s) and sommelier, and enjoy a five course dinner with specially paired wines. With each course, our head chef will talk about the food, while our sommelier will discuss the wine’s taste, variety, background, and vintage.
More Info:

COST: $90 per person. Gratuity is not included in the class price.

Tips for our staff for this evening are not expected but are greatly appreciated. All gratuities are evenly distributed amongst our staff members.
If your party has six or more guests, you can still reserve spots for any recreational class or event if you do not wish to do a private party. However, we will charge your group an 18% service fee at the time of your reservation. With this in mind, it is preferred that you register your entire guest count all at once.

Five-Course Wine Dinners are held on select Saturdays, 5:00 – 7:30pm. Attendees must be 21 years or older to consume any alcohol.
This class is not a cooking class. There is no portion of the class that is hands-on or demonstrative.
We have a 72-hour cancellation policy. This means that you have three days before the class starts to cancel or change your reservation.

If you have to cancel within this time period, you will not receive a credit to apply towards a different event. We do not issue monetary refunds.

No dietary restrictions or allergies will be accommodated for this class. If one or more items on tonight’s menu conflicts with your needs, please reserve spots for an alternative Five-Course Wine Dinner.
Class size is limited to 36 people. Reservations are based on a ‘first come-first serve’ basis.
Dinner starts at 5:00pm sharp. Please be here at least 10 minutes early wearing comfortable clothing.

About:
Join us in this six-week program as we demonstrate straightforward cookery! Hosted by Executive Chef Andrew Schmidt, this weekly program is designed to teach students how to make quick, convenient, and delicious gastronomic meals. This series aims to target professional workers who still wish to make a tasty dinner at the end of their workday, parents who wish to improve their weekly dining catalog, or simply anyone who wishes to learn new dishes that are agreeable to both their schedule, work-load, and palate! No prior experience necessary to register – all skill-levels are welcome!
Each week follows the same structure. Students will listen to the chef instructor’s lecture and watch his demonstration over the weekly topics before heading into the kitchen to make the respective dishes themselves. In teams of four, kitchen groups will be responsible for each week’s protein, starch, and vegetable-cookery. Once the food is prepared and plated, everyone gets to enjoy a family-style meal of what they’ve just made with a complimentary glass of wine.
Cost:
The Simple Meals Series is $600.00 for all six weeks of classes. Students may not sign up for individual classes. No chef jacket fee is added for this program.
