Celebrate Christmas in the Tuscan Countryside…Including A Mini Wine-Making Workshop!

Hands On | Dinner & Mini Wine-Making Workshop
Thu 12/8/22    6:30-9:00 p.m.

Class Description: 

Holiday merriment is all around us so why not grab your friends, special someone or entertain business associates on this special evening as we unwind and celebrate the season with a delicious culinary tour of Italy. 

Tonight’s tour guide is longtime CCKC instructor  Bruce Campbell and he’s excited to share some of the fantastic cuisine that he experienced on his travels to Italy. 

We’ll start our culinary journey in Florence, as you learn how to prepare a beautiful White Bean Bruschetta appetizer.  Then, you’ll move on to Genoa, where you’ll learn culinary techniques like how to use a mortar & pestle to create a classic Genoa pesto (betcha didn’t know that pesto sauce was born in Genoa...now you know.), along with a fresh eggless pasta-making lesson. 

Next, we’ll move south to Capri where you’ll enjoy a classic regional dish, Shrimp ala Caprese, cooked on a Piastra.  What’s that?  You’ll have to sign up for this class to find out!  We’ll end our cooking adventure as Bruce shows you how to make Grandpa Rossi’s Pizzelle.

We know that all of this traveling will make you thirsty, so you’ll get to quench your thirst, as you become Tuscan winemakers and blend your own Chianti-style wine to enjoy with your authentic Italian feast. Wow!

Along the way, you’ll get to tie on an apron and help prepare some of tonight’s dishes. You’ll end your evening as you enjoy the great Italian food you helped prepare. Saluti!
