Our winery chefs shine like never before and invite you to join them for another exciting culinary series this winter season! We are pleased to announce the return of our now legendary series of culinary workshops, designed for both the novice cook and culinary connoisseur. Chefs Batey and Dobbener prepare each dish in our state-of-the-art Culinary Theatre where they readily share their expert knowledge about ingredients and techniques that are essential to the creation of great food. From kitchen staples to epicurean curiosities, come and enjoy their passion and craft. Each three-hour session is interactive, informative and delectable.
The schedule for the Winter 2012 cooking class series includes a few new classes as well as some "encore" performances from last year that have been brought back by popular demand. As always, these classes sell out quickly, so reserve early!
New to our line-up this season is a “Lunch & Learn” offering. Could there be a better way to welcome the weekend than enjoying a mid-day culinary class? This class will begin with a tour of our barrel cellar and then feature three Mission Hill Family Estate wines and three dishes demonstrated and served in our traditional culinary class format.
