Find the Right Cooking Class in Canberra Wine District

Getting Cooking Classes Right

In this part of the region, the class to book is chocolate-making at Dionysus Winery in Murrumbateman, where a chocolatier works out of the same cellar door as the winemaker. It turns a day among the vines into something guests make with their hands, not only taste.

Why it fits a wine-district outing:

  • Bar-making (two hours, four bars each) and truffle-making (90 minutes, 12 truffles) workshops for two to 12.
  • Either can run as a private party for a birthday or a team-building group.
  • After the class, adults can stay for a guided tasting, including wine matched with chocolate.
  • The sculpture garden has large tables for up to 20, garden games and a deli fridge for platters.
  • Experiences start from $10 per person.

Families can come too: children are welcome, and only the winemaker's barrel session is limited to over-18s.

  • For a bigger celebration, the garden hosts private functions for up to 50 with grazing tables.
  • The cheese pairing tasting is an option for anyone not keen on chocolate.

What to ask Dionysus before booking

  • The price of the workshop you choose, since $10 is the entry point.
  • Whether children can take part in the class at a family birthday.
  • How the group splits if you have more than 12.
  • Which days the workshops run.
