Hands-On Cooking Classes


Tapawingo cooking classes are on hiatus for the winter
and will resume in the autumn of 2008

The two-day classes begin with lunch at 11 a.m. on both Sunday and Monday. A period of demonstrations follows, which then leads into the hands-on preparation of the many dishes that will be completed in the course of the two days. Students are separated into groups that prepare savory dishes, breads and desserts. A discussion and tasting of wines, is also integral to our class schedule.
Sunday’s session extends into late afternoon with dinner served at 5:30 p.m. Monday is similar to the first day, but culminates with hors d’oeuvres, Champagne and dinner. As with all our classes, the dishes completed and presented are “in the style of Tapawingo”. Class members are welcome to invite guests to final graduation dinner for an additional charge. While everyone will leave with solid cooking experiences, many friendships have also developed during the classes.
The fee for the two days is $390, inclusive of all wines and gratuities.

We reserve the right to cancel classes that do not have minimum enrollments 4 weeks ahead of class date. A non-refundable deposit is required for enrollment in all classes. Private classes can be arranged for individual groups of 8 or more, depending on scheduling.
Scheduled classes at this time are:
