Girl-tivities® Charcuterie Workshop

Saturday, October 10, 2026 1:30pm check in time

This is not your average charcuterie workshop.

Girl-tivities is taking over The Mick Brasserie + Bar for an elevated, interactive culinary experience where you'll learn from a professional chef, build your own loaded charcuterie board, and put your creation to the test in a live competition.

You'll learn the techniques behind creating a beautiful, balanced charcuterie board while getting an inside look at the culinary skills that take it to the next level — including stretching buffalo mozzarella, homemade focaccia and smoked butter, salami roses, ingredient pairing, styling and presentation.

Then it's your turn. 👀

You'll receive your own ingredients and custom Girl-tivities charcuterie board to create your masterpiece before the chef judges the finished boards and selects winners from each session.

And yes... there are prizes. 🏆🍷

Whether you come for the food, wine, competition, or simply want a unique afternoon meeting new girlfriends, this experience was designed to be so much more than a typical charcuterie class.

This isn't a follow-along workshop where you're simply handed ingredients and told where to put them.

You'll learn professional techniques directly from the culinary team at The Mick Brasserie + Bar, a modern French brasserie in Scottsdale known for its chef-driven cuisine and recognized wine program.

During the live chef demonstration, you'll learn:

🧀 The art of stretching buffalo mozzarella

🥖 The secrets behind The Mick's homemade focaccia & smoked butter

🌹 Techniques for creating salami roses

🍇 How to arrange meats, cheeses, fruits & accompaniments

🎨 How to create a visually stunning, well-balanced charcuterie board

✨ Professional tips you can recreate for your own girls' nights, dinner parties & gatherings

The Mick's event plan specifically includes instruction on mozzarella stretching, its homemade focaccia and smoked butter, and tips for creating a visually stunning and balanced charcuterie board.

Then you'll put everything you've learned into practice.

You'll receive your own assortment of ingredients to transform into a beautiful charcuterie spread.

Your board will feature a selection of:

✨ Artisan cheeses

✨ Cured meats

✨ Marinated vegetables & olives

✨ Seasonal fruits & nuts

✨ House-made jam

✨ Grainy mustard & pickles

✨ Dried apricots

✨ Crackers & lavash

The Mick will provide the ingredients and tools you need to create your board, including individual ingredients and accompaniments to make it completely your own.

And the best part?

Snack on your charcuterie while you mingle at the event, or package it up and bring it home to enjoy later.

A take-home container will be provided, so you don't have to finish everything during the workshop. The Mick's event plan specifically includes to-go boxes for attendees.

But before you start eating your masterpiece...

It's judging time. 👀

After everyone finishes building their boards, the chef will evaluate the creations and select:

🥇 1st Place

🥈 2nd Place

🥉 3rd Place

...from EACH session!

That's six winners total.

Each winner will receive a bottle of wine or non-alcoholic wine, based on their preference.

So pay attention during that chef demo... you may need those tips. 😉

The official event schedule includes judging and awards at the end of both workshop sessions.

Because apparently building an entire charcuterie board wasn't enough...

Guests will also be able to enjoy The Mick's famous sesame focaccia boards with smoked butter, garlic aioli and olives during the social portion of the experience. 😋

Of course, this wouldn't be a Girl-tivities event without time to actually meet people.

We're creating an additional social experience surrounding the workshops where attendees can mix, mingle and connect with other women.

1:30PM — Patio Social, Connection + Wine Tastings

2:15 PM — Chef Demonstration

This experience is taking place inside The Mick Brasserie + Bar, an elevated modern French brasserie in Scottsdale.

The Mick is led by Chef Brent Menke, whose culinary career has taken him around the world. Before opening The Mick, Menke spent years cooking aboard luxury yachts and traveling internationally, experiences that continue to influence the restaurant's globally inspired approach to French cuisine.

The Mick is also known for its extensive wine program, which has received recognition from Wine Spectator.

So when we say you're learning from people who know food and wine, we mean it.
