At the end, our chefs take over the kitchen, while guests return to the dining room and are served a delectable three-course dinner complete with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
Each Gourmet Class includes complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks. Alcoholic beverages will be available until dessert is served.
