welcome

The Gathering Table is an interactive cooking class for anyone who enjoys cooking, eating good food or just looking for a unique cooking experience. Our hands-on classes are designed to create a delicious family style meal focused around fresh ingredients and scratch made cooking. 

THE EXPERIENCE

Our goal is to make gourmet cooking fun and easy in a kitchen that is warm and inviting. Whether you are looking to learn something new, enjoy a unique night out or celebrating a special occasion we’ve got a menu that you are sure to enjoy. We’ve created a kitchen for guests of all cooking levels and our staff is there to help you every step of the way!

It takes a village to get a great meal on the table.  Our class menus are divided among 4 stations in the kitchen.  While you may not be preparing the entire menu, you do get to enjoy eating the whole menu.  We serve the appetizers as soon as they're ready and the remainder of the meal family style gathered around the table.  

CLASS SCHEDULE

We offer a variety of classes including various cuisines, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, kid’s classes, summer camps and team building events, just to name a few.

Adult classes start at $75 per person.

All classes are BYOB. Please bring the pairing of your choice OR have a bottle waiting for you when you arrive. Just purchase the bottle of your choice in our store before checkout.

Every class has a trained Gathering Table instructor and class assistant who are there to help guide you through your culinary experience.

We love the perfect outfit for a night out! Just keep in mind you will be standing and cooking for at least 1 1/2-2 hours. So just make sure you are comfortable!

We try to accommodate every guest the best we can. However sometimes menus can not be altered. To make sure the class will be right for you please email us prior to class to make sure we can make adjustments. 

What is the youngest age for participation in evening classes? 
Our classes welcome children ages 14 & up. We are unable to host children younger than 14 years old in our adult classes due to the pace of the class.

We understand life happens and unexpected events occur. However, please understand that we are a small business with only 8-10 guests attending each class. In the days leading up to your class, we have made the necessary purchases and staffing arrangements to ensure the best experience possible for everyone. DAY OF cancellations not only affects the staff but the other customers in that class as well. While we do our best to get seats filled, we are not responsible for last minute illnesses and work related conflicts.

You may transfer your seat to someone else, as long as the seats have not already been filled. Please let us know the name of the person filling your spot.

 PRIVATE PARTIES & CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING

The Gathering Table is an intimate space that’s perfect for celebrating your special occasion or bringing your corporate team members together. Your guests are sure to be filled with laughter and good food during their culinary adventure.

Our Private parties are a minimum of 8 guests and a maximum of 12. Please note our kitchen is cozy and can only hold 10 people cooking.  Sometimes there are a couple of guests that don't necessarily want to be hands on but still want to be there and enjoy the company and the food!

It’s never too early to reserve a date for your private party!

In order to reserve a date, we require a $75 non refundable deposit that goes towards your event.
