Local Love: Winter Warmth at Wine Country Cooking School

When winter settles in, and our region rests beneath a soft blanket of snow, it’s the perfect time to explore unique indoor experiences that bring people together - with delicious food, laughter, and a glass of wine in hand. One of our favourite winter-friendly outings is Wine Country Cooking School at Strewn Winery - a place that turns chilly days into heart-warming memories.

Wine Country Cooking School isn’t your typical class - it’s a full sensory experience. Set in a bright, purpose-built kitchen at an award-winning winery, this is where you roll up your sleeves, learn new skills, and share laughs with your group. Guests of all skill levels are welcome - from complete beginners to confident home cooks - and the goal is simple: make wonderful food, learn kitchen tips you’ll use at home, and enjoy it together.

Whether you’re looking for a fun daytime activity, a unique date idea, or a way to spark joy on a weekend afternoon, this hands-on class offers exactly that. Walk into the warm kitchen and walk out with new skills, new recipes to recreate, and new memories to treasure.

Why We Love This Experience

Our team has experienced firsthand how special a visit to Wine Country Cooking School can be. We had the pleasure of attending a private cooking class with Chef Jane Langdon, and it was truly memorable.

From the moment we arrived, the day was filled with smiles. Chef Jane guided our team through creating a seasonal, flavour-packed menu that was approachable even for novice cooks. What made it particularly wonderful was the blend of expert instruction with a relaxed atmosphere - everyone was learning and having fun. Once our dishes were ready, we took our seats, glasses in hand, to savour what we’d made - perfectly paired with Strewn’s own VQA wines.

If you’re looking to warm up this winter with a creative, delicious, and downright fun activity, gather a group, put on an apron, and let the culinary adventure begin. It’s the kind of day that leaves you full in both belly and spirit.
