Have you ever wondered where and how Bourbon began in America? Was it the first charred, barrel aged spirit in global history? Join Christophe Bakunas, our spirits expert, as our story begins in 1789 and weaves through the next couple of centuries in our unique American history of distilling brown spirits. Grab your favorite bottle of bourbon and we will shake and stir two cocktails.

Our Virtual Cooking Demonstrations, via Zoom, are a fun opportunity to watch your chef in action. During class, your chef will teach you how to  prepare the dishes while you observe and take notes. Our Zoom moderator will make sure your questions submitted through the chat option are answered during or after class. The recipe packet will be provided upon registration.
