In our hands-on charcuterie experience, you'll spend two hours creating beautiful, photo-worthy charcuterie boards from scratch. This charcuterie and wine class will teach you techniques that elevate a simple "nice cheese plate" into a stunning spread that people can't resist photographing. You'll learn how to fold prosciutto into delicate ribbons, slice and fan cheeses for visual contrast, balance flavors and textures across the board, and master our famous salami rose. (It's easier than it looks! Just wait until you see your group's faces when they nail it.)
