Heat up the kitchen with homemade pizza this winter! Start this signature cooking class by gathering around Pippin Hill’s wood-burning oven and learning how to make your own pizza sauce and dough. Once you’ve perfected the art of the pizza toss, you’ll experiment with a variety of toppings and flavor profiles of your choice, from the classic Margherita to innovative seasonal favorites.

About the Cooking Class Experience

Participants will receive a welcome glass of bubbly before venturing into the kitchen for an interactive demo led by Chef Victoria. Then, they’ll break into groups to dive into hands-on cooking, working through each recipe together while sipping on Pippin Hill wine. After the lesson, guests will gather in our Tasting Room for a family-style dinner to enjoy their culinary creations alongside additional dishes prepared by our kitchen team.

Upon arrival, please check in with our team who will provide you with 2 drink tickets redeemable for your choice of pre-selected red or white Pippin Hill wine, the recipes to follow along, and an apron for the evening. The price of your ticket covers a $150 class fee and a 20% service charge.
