Private Group Events

The Cooking School team has developed over 95 class curriculums on different culinary subjects; popular subjects include Cooking from the Farmers’ Market, Fresh Pasta Made Easy, Small Bites & Hors d’Oeuvres, and Taco Utopia. Prior to class, your group will be welcomed with seasonal nibbles and bites. Then, you’ll cook using organic ingredients grown within miles of Cavallo Point. All hands-on classes are 3 hours, feature local and seasonal products whenever possible, and conclude with a family-style meal that the class has prepared, with wines to match.

Let our instructors guide your exploration into the nuances of a subject in the best way: by tasting! Depending on the subject matter, small bites relating to the class are offered to break up palate fatigue, ensure that no one leaves hungry, and to have the subject matter showcased in great tastings that will make their mark. Popular tasting classes include Chocolate Tastings, California Artisan Cheese Tastings, Olive Oil Tastings, Bourbon Tastings, and more.

As close as you can get to being a guest on an actual television cooking show set, this class, offered for groups up to 20 guests, features a chef instructor demonstrating how to put together the dishes for a three-course meal step-by-step. Your guests will interact by being able to watch the chef as they work through the steps that they can re-create at home. Some of the guests may even get called up to assist with a quick job or two! The group is always excited when they then transition from demo to dinner, getting to enjoy the three courses as prepared by the cooking school staff, in a meal meant to maximize their learning and their taste buds! Perfect after a day of meetings or activities where the guests may be a bit too drained to do the cooking, but still want to learn and be entertained, the Demo Class is perfect for any mixed group that is looking for a unique experience. While most classes are based upon the local and seasonal ingredients available at the farmers' markets, Class subjects can be customized upon guest request.

• Participants: Up to 20 guests
• Duration: 2.5 hours
• Starts at $145 per person (plus admin fee, room rental, adjacent room Mariposa Borracha room rental (due to Covid), and sales tax)
