Enjoy a cheesemaking experience designed for everyone from absolute beginners to experienced home cooks. In just one hour, you’ll learn how to transform simple grocery store ingredients into fresh, delicious cheese from start to finish—no special equipment, no prior experience, and no raw milk required.

Guided by an expert cheesemaker with over 15 years of teaching experience, this class weaves together the rich history of cheesemaking with a clear, foolproof method you can easily recreate in your own kitchen. You’ll discover how traditional techniques translate beautifully into modern home cooking using tools you likely already have on hand.

This versatile, beginner-friendly cheese is the perfect foundation for a wide range of dishes—from sweet desserts to creamy spreads, from Italian favorites to crowd-pleasing party dips, and more. You will learn how cheesemaking can be adapted to suit your needs, including the easiest way to create lactose-free cheese. YAY!

Whether you’re looking for a memorable winery experience or a new skill you can take home and use again and again, this class offers the perfect blend of history, practical techniques, and delicious results—guaranteed.

Please note: There is a $10 materials fee payable to the Instructor upon arrival.

Join us on October 31st at the Williamsburg Winery Tasting Room for a playfully spooky painting session, perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit before the trick-or-treating starts. We'll paint a silhouetted haunted house against a bold orange sky, with a crescent moon and bat perched above, a few friendly ghosts drifting around the house, and bare, twisting tree branches framing the whole scene.

No experience needed — just come ready to relax, create, and leave with a painting you'll actually love. Our instructor will guide you step by step through the full piece, so even first-timers will walk away feeling like an artist.

This is a perfect pre-trick-or-treat activity — paint your masterpiece, then head out for a spooky night with plenty of time to spare before the little ones (or you!) hit the streets for candy.
