Getting Cooking Classes Right

A hands-on cooking class turns a birthday into an afternoon of making something and then eating it together. On the Bellarine, a farm cooking studio at Drysdale runs pasta, pizza, fresh mozzarella and preserving classes that can be booked privately for a group.

What to confirm when booking a private class:

  • The menu. Pick the class that suits the crowd: pasta and pizza for a social afternoon, preserving or fermenting for keen cooks.
  • Group size. Small studios keep numbers tight, so check the maximum before sending invites.
  • Dietary needs. Tell the studio about allergies or vegetarian guests early.
  • Drinks. Ask whether wine is served with the meal or whether the group can bring its own.

A cooking class also makes a thoughtful gift for a food-loving partner or parent, booked with a few close friends. Private classes start from $140 per person. Pair the class with a birthday party dinner afterwards, or browse other activities on the peninsula.

Why the Bellarine suits a food day

  • The peninsula's farm gates and cool-climate wineries put good produce at the centre of a day out.
  • A class can be paired with a winery lunch or a cellar door visit, with a hired driver or minibus handling the travel.
  • With much of the action indoors, a class holds up well in the Bellarine's changeable weather.

Getting the most from the class

  • Ask whether the group sits down to eat what it made at the end.
  • Check whether recipes are sent home afterwards.
  • Ask about take-home portions or jars from a preserving class.

Answers to Common Cooking Class Questions

A farm cooking studio in Drysdale runs pasta, pizza, mozzarella, preserving and fermenting classes that can be booked as a private group.

How much does a private cooking class cost?

Private group classes start from $140 per person.

Is a cooking class a good idea for a 40th or 50th?

Can we combine a Drysdale cooking class with a winery visit?

Yes, the Bellarine's cellar doors are close by. Book a minibus or a chauffeured car so nobody has to worry about getting home.
