Team Building and More

For 25 years, the Wine Country Cooking School has provided corporate hands-on cooking events including:

  • team building afternoons or evenings

  • spousal programs for multi-day conferences

  • rewards for small business organizations, departments or management teams

“Everyone loved the session. Feedback was that the food was incredible and the team building event was a blast – thanks again for taking care of our group so well!”
— Canada Bread Company Limited
“It was a great experience as a team. We thoroughly enjoyed it.”
— Nestle Health Science

Due to COVID protocols, we have reduced the number of participants in cooking classes to a maximum of 18 people for a lunch or dinner class.

Here are Some Ideas to Get Your Planning Started

Team Building in the Kitchen – collegial, cooperative and delicious. Our most popular program. Work in teams to cook a three-course meal that is matched with Strewn VQA wine. Typically 3-1/4 hours.

Kitchen Challenge – a little fun competition can be had with teams competing, typically with the dessert portion of the menu.

Appealing Appetizers – Great for groups with a shorter time to cook, we teach, make and enjoy a selection of appetizers. Typically 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Market Driven – It's off to the market to see what's local before incorporating the purchases into the cooking class menu. (For groups arriving before 4:00 pm during the local growing season).

NOTE: If you are looking for a venue to host a large meeting including overnight accommodations, there are several well-reviewed properties nearby including White Oaks Conference Centre, mid-size and boutique hotels/inns in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and many additional options in nearby Niagara Falls, Ontario.

 

We can also provide a fun and innovative twist on personal events such as

  • engagement parties

  • wedding showers

  • significant birthdays

  • anniversary parties

  • family gatherings (we've had three generations, learning, cooking and dining together!)

The school is available for corporate and private classes Monday to Thursday (either a daytime or early evening class) and on some Sundays (day and early evening). Maximum number of participants is 18 people. Contact the school to discuss available dates, menu options and budget. The minimum cost for a private class is $1,000 plus HST and 15% gratuity, which covers up to four people.
