The Cucina
Culinary Education Center

A new season of Cucina Classes will be available in November. Join our email list below to get notified when the new class schedule is available. Due to our busy wedding season, we do not offer classes in the summer.

The Cucina at Gervasi Vineyard offers fun and inspiring educational experiences marked by delicious food and memorable wines. Demonstration cooking classes in The Villa Grande will be led by Meg Feller, owner of Lemon Leaf Catering. Study her technique as she prepares a menu of enticing dishes during this enhanced dining event. Enjoy a generous portion of each course, accompanied by a glass of wine (cash bar with wine and beer also available). You won’t go home hungry after these delectable demos! You’ll also receive a recipe packet to help you recreate your Cucina experience at home.

DEMONSTRATION CLASS FORMAT:  Guests will be seated classroom style in our Villa Grande Ballroom.  The Chef Instructor will demonstrate preparation of the menu in front of the class with a supporting video feed.  The Instructor will pause after each course allowing for questions and interaction while the menu item is served to all guests.  There is no hands on component to the experience.  Each guest will be given a packet of recipes for the menu demonstrated and served. 

Cancellation policy: Class registrations are nonrefundable and may not be applied toward other classes or events. If you’re unable to attend a class you’ve registered for, you’re welcome to send someone in your place. If a class is canceled by The Cucina, you’ll receive a full refund of your fee.
