Culinary Studio

During the Chateau Elan Culinary Studio Cooking Class, guests begin with essential knife skills, learning how to hold, sharpen, and maneuver knives with precision. Techniques such as julienne, chiffonade, dice, and batonnet transform ingredients into visually striking components of each dish. From mise en place to cooking main courses, every step is guided by our culinary team, ensuring students of all skill levels feel supported and inspired.

Classes are fully immersive, allowing participants to actively prepare each dish. Instruction covers a variety of cooking methods, flavor-building techniques, and plating strategies. Guests receive all ingredients, recipe cards to recreate dishes at home, and three hours of guided instruction to fully explore the culinary process.

Each session concludes with the opportunity to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, complemented by a glass of Chateau Elan wine. Our culinary and sommelier teams collaborate to pair wines that highlight and elevate the flavors of each dish, creating a sophisticated and memorable tasting experience.

Reservations are recommended due to limited class sizes. Whether you are a seasoned cook or exploring culinary skills for the first time, the Chateau Elan Culinary Studio Cooking Class offers a refined, educational, and enjoyable journey into the world of gourmet cooking.

Our 1,600-square-foot Culinary Studio is fully equipped with Viking Range® appliances and offers hands-on guidance from professional chefs. Each class includes sommelier-selected wine pairings and take-home recipe cards for all dishes, providing a complete, immersive culinary experience.
