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

Hear From Real People!

Our guests had a great evening and Erin made sure that everyone (even non-drinkers) enjoyed themselves! Thanks for making the bridal shower so memorable!
I wanted to thank you again for last night. Everyone had a great time, and I received a lot of compliments, on your behalf. You struck a great balance between being informational and entertaining. 10 out of 10.
I wanted to thank you SO much for your tutored wine tasting! It was so much fun. You were both informative and hilarious! Each person said they would definitely recommend you to anyone looking to do a wine tasting!
Bravo! You were awesome and I loved the presentation, explanation and selection of wines! I just had to reach out and thank you for a wonderful evening. You two are fabulous – great energy and you really like what you do.  You make tasting wine fun!
I had the pleasure of attending the Oceania Cruise event where you conducted a wine pairing. I have to say that your wine and food pairing made a typically ho hum travel information night, spectacular! I have never done a wine pairing. I was amazed at how food interacted with the wines.
The unique programs and the tour we did with you was a huge success. Guests really enjoyed the afternoon!
Erin did a fantastic job with our group. We all really enjoyed the day. I have already recommended The Wine Sisters for my company events, as it was such a great experience for us.
Great energy, sense of humour and very knowledgeable! Thank you for making it an afternoon to remember!
You and your team were an absolute pleasure to work with! From the get go, you were very flexible with our needs, communicated in a timely manner, and tailored your services to be exactly what we asked for.
Everybody had a ton of fun and we very much see this structure as a template we can use with clients and friends in the future.
