Chateau Chantal’s Northern Michigan cooking class schedule 2014 includes special event themes like “Spring in Michigan,” “Cinco de Mayo,” and “Chocolate with Grocer’s Daughter Chocolates.” Come visit the acclaimed Northern Michigan winery in Traverse City and leave with a new skill.

Named a Top 50 US Culinary Destination by author Joe David in his book, Gourmet Getaways, Chateau Chantal Winery & Inn released their popular cooking class, winter wine dinners, and wine boot camp schedule today.  Spurred by the popularity of culinary tourism, Chateau Chantal’s cooking classes are an annual hands-on experience that allows guests to share in their hard work during class, while enjoying wines from Chateau Chantal’s estate.

Led by a group of experienced local chefs, guests will enjoy a wonderfully entertaining and educational afternoon of hands-on preparation at the winery.  All classes are approximately four hours and cost $95 per person, including food and wine pairings.  Guests are asked to bring an apron and a favorite chef’s knife.  Reservations can be made by calling the winery at 1-800-969-4009 or at chateauchantal.com.
