    Ever wonder why some food-and-wine pairings just work, while others fall flat? In this approachable 3-session class, you'll learn the fundamentals of pairing - how acid, salt, fat, sweetness, bitterness, and tannin interact - and how to use that knowledge to choose wines with confidence for meals at home or dining out. Each class includes chef-led discussion, guided tasting exercises, and real-world examples drawn from classic pairings and global cuisines. Students will leave with a simple, repeatable framework for pairing that focuses on enjoyment rather than rules.

    All materials provided.

    Learn how chefs turn one whole chicken into multiple delicious meals! In this practical 3-session class, you'll learn safe and efficient chicken breakdown, what each part is best used for, and simple cooking methods that produce consistently great results. We'll also use the carcass to build a flavorful stock - so nothing goes to waste - and explore how sauces and seasoning bring the whole meal together. Each class includes chef demonstrations, guided tastings, discussion, and clear take-home steps so you can repeat the process confidently at home.

    Forget everything you've been told about wine and cheese. The truth is that the carbonation, complex grain bills, and bitterness of beer make it the superior partner for the world's finest cheeses! Over six immersive sessions, we will travel the flavor spectrum - from the crisp and clean to the dark and decadent - with the guidance of an Advanced Cicerone. From the way a German Pilsner scrubs the palate after a bite of creamy Havarti to how the roasted barley of a Stout mimics coffee to pair perfectly with an aged Gouda, we will try numerous combinations both delicious and refined. Stop guessing at the grocery store - start pairing like a pro!

    For ages 21+. Must register by Wednesday, 3/18. All materials provided. 

    Note: In the event a scheduled session cannot be held, a prorated refund for that session will not be issued. The College will make reasonable efforts to reschedule the session prior to confirming cancellation.
