Succulent Seafood Series: California Coastal Cuisine
This is a Hands-on Cooking & Wine Experience
Summary:
You don’t need to travel to the West Coast to satisfy your seafood craving. Known for its use of fresh ingredients, simple preparations, and an emphasis on sustainable and local ingredients, California cuisine is all about savoring the here and now. Learning how to showcase California coastal cuisine with a contemporary perspective is the ultimate catch!
You will first be met with a reception wine and light appetizers. You'll have a striking view of our impressive open demonstration kitchen. You'll don your apron, roll up your sleeves and Chef will walk you through the preparations of your meal while you enjoy a sip of your wine! Once you've completed your meal, you will sit down and enjoy it. You will also experience wines paired with the beautiful meal you've created.
Throughout the evening you'll learn about the recipes, food preparation, and the "why" behind the wines we pair with the meal.
All AWS cooking classes include an emphasis on wine, because that's who we are! You can expect 2 different wines to sample during reception/cooking and two wines paired with your meal for a total of approximately 3+ glasses. If you would like to add more wine to your experience, you can taste 32 different wines in our Enomatics (wine dispensing system) or you can order wine by the glass or bottle.
