You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

Austria and Germany are not often the first places people think of when it comes to wine. Too bad, because Austria is much more than just Grüner Veltliner. Although Germany’s Rieslings are considered some of the world’s best, there is much more to explore. During this wine tour, Richard Vayda, ICE’s resident sommelier, will help demystify the grapes, regulations and labeling that often keep wine lovers away from these great selections. The tasting will include some light matching snacks to accompany these food-friendly wines.
Celebrate summer's bounty with this delicious class focused on fresh fruit desserts. You'll master essential techniques for working with seasonal produce by baking four classic treats perfect for any occasion. We'll show you how to create the perfect balance of flavors and textures, from buttery shortcakes to crunchy crumble toppings. The menu includes Summer Berry Shortcake, a classic with light cakes, fresh berries, and cream; Peach and Blackberry Cobbler, featuring jammy fruit and a biscuit-like topping; Plum, Vanilla and Almond Crumble, a combination of sweet-tart plums with a nutty, crunchy topping; and Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, the perfect duo under a buttery oat crust. Join us and bake your way to a sweet summer!
Often overlooked by casual wine drinkers, this ancient grape-growing and winemaking area is a star in many enthusiasts’ cellars. Passing back and forth between Germany and France several times throughout history, Alsace's Germanic influence in grape varieties and labeling is clear, but the French style of the wines shines through. While featuring fragrant dry Rieslings, Alsace offers many other charms, including delicate Pinot Noirs, sparkling Crémant d’Alsace, and other luscious late-harvest examples. Join Richard Vayda, ICE's resident sommelier, on an exploration of the history, wine regulations, labeling and, most important, wines of this classic wine region. The class will sample nine or more wines, accompanied by matching snacks.
