About this Event
Start the New Year off right by stepping into our culinary bookstore and classroom for the debut of Curio’s Winter Spice School. In this densely-packed 75 minute workshop Curio’s founder will guide you through a flavor journey, as well as show you how to create your own expressive & personalized spice mix!
Your evening includes:
- An introduction to Curio’s rare, directly sourced spices
- Complimentary spiced drinks and popcorn
- Your own Curio Spice Flavor Wheel (with a lesson on how to use it)
- A short lecture/slide show from Curio's founder and blender-in-chief Claire Cheney on flavor
- Hands-on blending at our new "Spice Bar" which evokes the feeling of walking through a historic spice bazaar! Create and take home your own unique signature blend!
You’ll leave with Curio’s Spice Flavor Wheel and a beautiful jar of the blend you created — a lasting reminder of a wonder-filled evening.
