    Full dinner spread
    Mitchell A.

    Wonderful experience with delicious food! The chefs were all super knowledgeable and kind. A lot of class participation and learning some great techniques. Only downside was for the price you would expect wine/beer to be included but it was all extra. Most cooking classes I have done have included that and it would have been a nice addition.

    The kitchen & dining room
    Jennifer K.

    This was my first cooking class and I wasn't sure what to expect, but Cavallo Point and Tim (the chef) made it exceptional! Tim welcomed us into the big beautiful kitchen and dining area, offered us drinks and snacks all nicely set up. We met the other students and Tim explained the Japanese cooking class, then we all went to different areas to help with various dishes - there was an area for frying tempura, making sushi rolls, grilling chicken, cutting veggies, etc. You could stay at one station enjoying & perfecting that particular task or rotate around when you wanted - it was the perfect ways to be hands on but also feel free to focus on what you wanted. I ended up working with one sous chef on a beautiful sashimi platter and feel reasonably confident that I could recreated something as beautiful myself (without giving anyone food poisoning!). Tim and his sous chefs were incredibly friendly and helpful. Maybe it was the wine but by the end I felt like some kind of culinary genius even though I was just following instructions! Then we all sat down together to share a HUGE meal - there was more than enough for everyone (so if someone had screwed up a dish - which no one did - you wouldn't have missed it). You could tell we were all so proud and pleased with our creations. I can't think Tim and his staff enough, we can't wait to return for another class soon!!!

    I went with my sister for a girls weekend at the hotel and included a cooking class the last day. Not knowing what to expect, i was a bit hesitate due to a less than satisfactory prior experience at a cooking class in San Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised by the greetings from the head chef Tony and two sous chefs. Tony was very outgoing and delightful by spending time greeting each guest. We where then surprised to see freshly made pastries, coffee, water, and drinks for us to enjoy while others arrive. The kitchen was amazing, clean and beautifully designed. The ingredients presentation on the front table was stunning. The whole experience was wonderful I would recommend this as a great activity to all my friends in family.

    We attended Sicilian Summer cooking class today with Chef Tony Adams. We have been to several cooking classes at Cavallo Point over the years and enjoy them. This one today was beyond excellent as Chef Tony makes it fun while imparting lots of practical tips. Clearly he has expertise and loves teaching and cooking. There were two other chefs present and sadly I don't recall their names but each one were knowledgeable and patient, friendly and helpful. And each dish we made was excellent. I am looking forward to making the Arancini and Swordfish Pignoli Breadcrumb Involtini.

    Asian fusion cooking class with Linda Tay Esposito 10/12/2013

    The cooking class on 10/12/2013 was a lot of fun!! Everyone's fun to cook with. Here's a list of what we made: - Japanese rice balls with tuna salad filling and salmon filling - chicken skewers with shiso leaves and freshly-made plum/sake sauce - Kombucha croquets - spicy prawns - Seafood egg custards (seafood steamed egg soup) - Pork tonkasu - Seared Ahi Tuna - sashimi rice salad with wasabi aioli Everything's delicious and fun to make! We drank lots of wine and sake as well! I would recommend this place to family and friends and I would definitely go back again when the menu looks good to me! p.s. The chef instructor and her assistants were all very friendly and fun to cook with!

    Braised goat shoulder
    Kristy N.

    Attended a class here and had a fantastic time. Chef Jayne and her staff were very professional and focused on really educating us on how and why they use certain cooking methods and its impact on the food. Atmosphere was perfect for a date night/ a girls' night out/ birthday gift to a parent and all the attendees were very social. I'd say this class would be appropriate for beginner/ intermediate students. The food was ACTUALLY really good. Chef Jayne was in charge of cooking the main entree protein but I really didn't mind since it would have been unfeasible to complete a slow braised pork shoulder in a 4 hour class (only about 1 of which is used to actually cook- the rest of the time is dedicated to listening to Chef Jayne's lecture and eating/drinking). Special shoutout to Enriquez wines who provided the wine to pair with our meals. I didn't really expect much since it seemed like a marketing ploy but the wines were also well conceptualized and complemented the dishes. Would purchase again!

    Fresh ingredient for the evening's cooking lessons
    Nandita B.

    We had a office offsite at cavallo point and the cooking class was part of our team building exercise. Had an absolute blast!! We made so many amazing dishes under the expert direction of chef Tony and the 3 sous chefs. Everyone from the team had a wonderful time and we were so impressed with the enthusiasm of the chefs. Will be happy to take any other class here.

    Probably my favorite dish of the night.

The outside area was so nice we agreed that we'll have to return in Spring to enjoy it. Inside there's a CIA store with so many kitchen items. I spoke with the employee there and she shared her knowledge of the two CIA facilities, there in Napa and the other in St Helena. She was super friendly and it was nice to meet her. We ventured into the museum which for me, someone who enjoys and appreciates food and cooking, I loved. This culinary collection was amazing. We also got to view the long wall of viticulturist which was interesting. Take a look at my photos to view CIA's testing kitchens. Very cool. This facility also has a restaurant, The Grove and an open area to rent for special occasions. Since the restaurant was closed, when I'm in Napa again, I'm definitely going to try it.
