hearts in harmony
a mediterranean valentine

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a feast made for sharing with your favorite cooking buddy. In this hands-on cooking class, you and your plus one will create an abundant spread of Mediterranean mezze, small plates designed for connection and flavor.

Together, we’ll prepare a colorful assortment of dishes ranging from the classics to Liza’s creative twists. Mezze invites you to linger, taste, and laugh together, every bite meant to be shared. Lavender Acres Winery will be there with a special selection of their local wines prepared just for you. You can look forward to an evening of little surprises including chocolate covered strawberries from Leg Up Farmers Market.

The class is limited to just 15 pairs for an intimate 3-hour experience.  Finish by gathering around the table for a luscious meal you’ve created. 

While Lavender Acres will be providing wine and we’ll have infused water available, you may prefer something different. You’re more than welcome to BYOB. The menu is mostly plants but includes some meat, egg and dairy.
