Corporate Events/Retreat Add-ons

  • Team Building—we lead the cooking while inspiring, guiding, and teaching your team along the way. Class topics and goals can be customized to meet your goals, schedule, and budget of your organization.

Sample itinerary: after a short lesson in knife handling and brief explanation of the topic of the day, your group will divide into teams to collaborate on a dish for the evening. Then the entire group will come together to showcase and share their creations. This is a fun-filled and relaxed event meant to focus on individual strengths and demonstrate that there is no “I” in "team". Sip on wine during your event and most importantly, have fun while promoting your inner creativity.

  • Employee Incentive—let your team know how much they mean by celebrating in an engaging environment filled with food, wine, and education.

Sample itinerary: this format is meant to be a fun-filled experience thanking an employee for their hard work, while learning several cooking techniques and sipping wine in the meantime. Let loose and have fun while creating a scrumptious meal for your peers.
