Our Cooking Classes offer a truly hands-on experience in a commercial kitchen allowing each student to create Italian cuisine themselves to make at home. Our classes are not just a “demonstration”.
The classes are held pretty much every other Saturday, and the fun typically starts at 10:30am at Solare (10am for some classes) with an Italian-style coffee of your choice. Italian wine is served for students interested in “cooking with wine”.
The Classes do sell out fast due to the limited size.

September 08 - Solare Special Happy Hour – Try delicious Cachaça from Brazil
Do you like Cachaça from Brazil? Would you like to learn more about it?
If yes, we have Mr. Mark Young here leading a special Happy Hour afternoon from 4pm to 6pm.
See the flyer. Join me and Mark and Tommy for a fun and educational experience!
Cachaça is a reflection of Brazilian culture, all natural, unique and authentically down-to-earth with many different expressions and personalities. Sotaques creates its cachaça in Minas Gerais – Brazil, using the traditional process carried on by generations since the early 1500’s.
Sotaques revives the ancient art of distilling cachaça, pioneering a unique approach and delivering the hand-crafted spirit to a new generation of creative drinkers and cultural innovators.
