About this Event

"Master the Art of French Pastries"
Dive into the world of classic French baking in this hands-on workshop where you'll create three iconic pastries: buttery Croissants, indulgent Pain au Chocolat, and nutty, decadent Almond Croissants. Under the guidance of an expert baker, you'll learn the secrets of laminating dough, shaping, and achieving the perfect bake. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned baker, this class offers a delightful and rewarding experience as you bring the taste of France to life in your own kitchen.

Menu:

Butter Crossaint - Laminated dough from scratch
Pain au chocolat
Almond Croissant (Croissant aux Amandes)

Suggested Wine Pairing

White Wine – Chenin Blanc (off-dry or sparkling) Sweetness and crisp acidity enhance buttery croissants and complement almond and chocolate pastries.

Red Wine – Pinot Noir (light-bodied) Bright red fruit flavors balance the richness of almond croissants and pair delicately with chocolate.

Dessert Wine – Vin de Paille (Straw Wine) A sweet, concentrated wine that elevates nutty, buttery flavors with a luscious honeyed finish.
