Getting Cooking Classes Right

Food draws people to the valley as much as wine, and a hands-on class gives a group something to make together. Nuriootpa has a farm kitchen running classes and demonstrations and a cheese school working inside a cellar door, while Tanunda has a chocolate maker running chocolatier-led workshops.

How the three formats compare:

Cheese making runs from $180 per person, needs a group of around 12, and welcomes kids.
Chocolate workshops start at $55 per person for groups of eight or more, and suit teens, adults and work teams.
The farm kitchen takes small groups from about four and mixes cooking with guided tastings; ask for a quote.
All three are indoors and in daylight, so they hold up in any weather, from a hot summer afternoon to a frosty winter morning.
Nuriootpa and Tanunda both sit on the valley floor, which makes a class easy to pair with lunch or a tasting in the same part of the valley.

For a work group, see team building; for a wider mix of things to do, browse activities.

Cheese suits keen home cooks who want a technique to take away.
Chocolate suits mixed ages and a lighter commitment.
The farm kitchen suits a group that wants food and wine in one booking.
Minimum numbers differ widely, so count heads before choosing.

What should the cooking class host know before the day?

Head count, ages, dietary needs and any allergies, including dairy, nuts or gluten.
