  • It was SO much fun! I learned a ton and left super inspired!
  • This pasta making class a gift for my dad’s birthday. The class was an absolute delight! We learned so much and had a blast making pasta. The instructor also provided wine and a cheese tasting. The whole experience was incredible!
  • Took my boyfriend for his birthday since he’s always wanted to learn more about wines. We had such a great time! Gerome is not only very knowledgeable but incredibly passionate. The wines and cheeses were delicious and now we feel more confident in how to taste wines, describe them, and enjoy them! Cannot recommend this class enough if you’re looking to expand your knowledge of wines and have an amazing time.
  • Loved it, easy to get to, wide variety and its so interactive. Ended up buying a cheese i tasted hehe.
  • Super insightful, fun and engaging! Definitely would book again & will be booking another class again!!
  • We had an awesome experience. I went with my girlfriend. We learned a lot about wine and cheeses and the origin of the wine grapes. We fell in love with a specific pairing that we frequently buy now.
  • Very interesting, engaging class! Learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Would recommend.
  • The instructor was so awesome and was so knowledgeable. We had a great time and the cheese was so tasty. I'm telling all my friends and we're signing up for other classes. I wished she taught more classes.
  • It was a perfect date night for people who love cheese, but don't know a whole ton about the world of cheese. We learned a lot, had fun, ate well and had fun! It was very cool to eat some crazy cheese and learn about what made it so special. A night to remember.
  • This class was amazing. Erica was a phenomenal instructor. I feel confident in making cheese now! I would highly recommend this class.
  • carolyn was amazing!!! the class was fun and easy. I would definitely do it again.
  • It was fun!!
  • The structure was great - starting with a tasting of different mozzarella considerations. A demo of how to make mozzarella followed and then we were able to make our way. The mozzarella turned out amazing and it is so much easier to do than I thought. Thanks to this class I have the confidence and instruction to make fresh mozzarella at home any time!
  • It was great. Carolyn is an excellent instructor. I love being in the class. Good topic of making mozzarella and burrata, we bring them home and was delicious. I love being in the class. Thank you Carolyn
  • Fun and informative class.
  • Erica was amazing and the class was fun!
  • My fiancé and I had a great time. The instructor had a great personality and shared her history with stories along the way. She also mentioned teaching a cocktail-making class as well, but we haven't gotten around to looking into it yet. We would take the class again.
  • I love Murray's!
  • It was fun! interactive, interesting and delicious choices1
  • It was an incredible experience—my boyfriend and I had a lot of fun. The teacher was thorough and made the burrata-making process easy to follow, and we learned so much.

  • Very informative, teachers were nice and did a great job, delicious cheese and wine!
  • The class was great, super informative and fun!
  • Fun experience, great information, delicious mozzarella! Staff was friendly.
  • I loved the class!
  • What an absolutely perfect afternoon! This class was fun, informational, delicious and lovely. Our instructor was so knowledgable, witty, helpful and warm. What blew me away was how well it was prepped and run. From the wine and tasting to the actual making and the gifts to take home, it was an incredible experience that exceeded my expectations.
  • Wonderful class. Extremely knowledgeable teacher. She clearly loves what she does. Throughly enjoyed this experience.
  • Chef Erica was so knowledgeable! So engaging! I’ve never taken one of these courses before but I will be taking more n the future!
  • I've participated in the cheesemaking class in 2022, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. I really appreciated how simple the instructions were and how every question was promptly answered. As for the final "banquet", that was quite memorable and gave me ideas for dinners with friends. Though I can't say I've been making mozzarella on a weekly basis, fresh ricotta and cashew cheese have both become staples in my kitchen. Egg + ricotta + salt & chives + toast in the morning FTW! Healthy and delicious.
  • I cannot recommend this class highly enough. The instructor was engaging: beginning with a brief but thorough history of cheese, she took us through the geopolitical implications of certain kinds of cheese, why they started where they did and how they came to be incorporated into certain cultural identities. Then, we were able to make several kinds of cheese, some of which we were able to take home with us. You might be surprised at how quickly one can make cheese, or at how simply it comes together. Thanks to this cheesemaking workshop, I now know. Sign up for this class: you will not regret it.
  • So fun and very educational!
  • Jamie was so knowledgeable and fun. All of the pairings were delicious!

  • Awesome teacher. Great class. 10/10 would recommend!
