From $10pp

Family-run Murrumbateman winery and home of Woo Chocolates, offering guided group tastings, chocolate-making workshops and winemaker sessions.

Getting Cooking Classes Right

Group food classes around the ACT lean sweet. At a family-run winery in Murrumbateman, chocolate-making workshops sit alongside guided tastings and winemaker sessions, so a group can split the day between the bench and the cellar door.

It suits team days and birthdays for up to 20 people. Because it is out in the wine district, the transport plan matters as much as the menu.

Questions worth asking before booking a food class:

What does each guest make, and do they take it home on the day?
Is the class hands-on for everyone, or a demonstration with tasting?
Can the class be combined with a wine tasting, and is the tasting optional for non-drinkers?
How many can the room hold at once? The Murrumbateman winery hosts up to 20.
How will guests reach the wine district and get home: a bus, a nominated driver or a tour?
Can the menu handle allergies, dairy-free or vegan guests?

For a team-building outing, a chocolate class gives everyone a task without needing kitchen skills. Pair it with a booked wine tour so nobody has to stay behind the wheel.

Start with the hands-on class while everyone is fresh, and finish with a seated tasting.
Ask whether lunch can be added or whether the group should book a meal elsewhere in Murrumbateman.
Give each guest a box or bag for what they make, if the venue does not supply one.

Season and timing

Chocolate work prefers a cool room, so ask how the venue handles hot summer afternoons.
Winter is cold and frosty, which makes an indoor class with a warm tasting room a comfortable choice.
End-of-year team days fill early, so fix a December booking well ahead.

Answers to Common Cooking Class Questions

Is there a chocolate-making class near Murrumbateman for groups?

Yes. A family-run winery there runs chocolate-making workshops alongside guided tastings, for groups of up to 20.

Does a winery food class work for a team-building day in the ACT?

It can. The Murrumbateman winery lists team-building and birthdays, and a hands-on class suits people with no kitchen experience.

Do guests have to drink wine at a chocolate workshop?

Ask the venue to keep the tasting optional. The workshop itself does not depend on it.

How do we get a group out to a wine district cooking class?

Book a bus or a wine tour, or nominate a driver. Tours collect across the ACT districts and run to Murrumbateman.

What should we ask about dietary needs before a food class?

Tell the venue about allergies early and ask whether dairy-free or vegan options exist, since chocolate recipes often rely on dairy.
