Chef & Somm Workshops

You know what they say: give a person a cheese, they eat for a minute. Teach a person how to build a beautiful cheeseboard, they become an influencer. 

Forget escape rooms and bowling. Our wine and food workshops are engaging, exciting, and interactive, the ultimate in deliciously fun edu-tainment. 
 
All chef & somm classes are available exclusively at Vantage Venues, 150 King St W., downtown Toronto.
 
Each experience begins with a 20-minute sparkling wine reception, with a tempting bite, to allow everyone to arrive in ease and settle in before the workshop begins. 
Wine + Oyster Shucking

Wine + Cheese

Like a painting class, but tastier.
A chef leads guests through a workshop on building "Instagram worthy" cheeseboards. Guests can choose their own materials from cheese, charcuterie, and various accoutrements like olives, crackers, spreads etc. to build a board that best reflects their tastes. A sommelier leads the group through a tasting of three wines paired to the cheese. 
 
10-20ppl – $205
21-50ppl – $195
50ppl+ – $175
Art of the Cocktail Party

Designed to give guests a handbook for hosting their own cocktail parties, from easy to manage, but incredibly impressive cocktails, crowd and food friendly wines, and easy, make-ahead (chef designed!) party snacks anyone can whip up to serve a crowd.  
The workshop starts with guests mixing, muddling, shaking, or stirring their own seasonal cocktail. While they sip on their freshly made drink, a chef demos a party-ready snack, easily made with ingredients found at any grocery store. We taste our first wine, and try it with the small bite the chef has just demonstrated. We then try wine two, to the next bite and wine three and a bite. Guests are emailed the recipes and wine list following the event. 
 
10-20ppl – N/A
21-50ppl – $199
50ppl+ – $179
