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 enjoy a striking view of our impressive open demonstration kitchen. Chef will walk you through the preparations your meal while you enjoy a sip your wine. Don your apron, roll up your sleeves and get ready to work as a group to help cook each part of the meal at various stations around the kitchen by following recipes with the guidance of your Chef. Throughout the evening you'll learn about the recipes, food preparation, and the "why" behind the wines we pair with the meal.

Please note that this is a community cooking experience and each guest may not necessarily cook their own complete meal. Once the cooking is complete, you will sit down and enjoy a family style meal presentation along with complementary wine pairings. 

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.

Class will include:

- Hands-on cooking instruction by a professional
- Cooking techniques and entertaining ideas
- Light nibbles and wines to enjoy while cooking
- The meal you make and wines paired with it
- Delicious and easy recipes to make for friends and family
