Meet your hosts, Ann and Rick, at their beautiful home in Dana Point, just minutes from Laguna Beach and neighboring the Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria hotels. Begin your experience with a welcome cocktail and appetizer while getting to know your hosts and learning about the Italian dishes you'll be preparing together. Step into Ann's spacious kitchen for a small-group, hands-on Italian cooking class where you'll learn to prepare a delicious multi-course meal inspired by Ann's love of Italian cuisine and entertaining. As you cook together, Ann will share tips, techniques, and stories from her culinary training and travels, teaching you how to create authentic Italian dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients. After cooking, gather around the table to enjoy the meal you've prepared together, paired with carefully selected Italian red and white wines. Each guest will receive printed recipes to recreate the dishes at home, along with a small keepsake to remember their time in Dana Point.
