Highly recommend this for any group event or team building as it gave everyone an opportunity to relax and unwind and get away from the grind while learning new cooking tips and techniques. The property was just so quaint right in the heart of San Juan Capistrano. Can't wait to book my next event.

My wife and I have taken several classes from Saddleback Culinary for our date night. You get to…read morelearn about cuisines, make some wonderful food, make things you may normally not try, and get out for the night. For us, it's fun. There are others in the class that are wanting to learn as a profession. My two favorite instructors are Chef Pascal and Chef Stacy (In no particular order). It would be difficult to find more inspirational, seasoned Chef's to guide you through a class. The kitchen environment is 100% professional. Saddleback should be proud of wha they have! The classes are 4-5 hours and the time flies. Lecture, prep, assemble, taste some food!, clean up, and recap. Sounds like a lot, but it is really worth it. I will note; it is work to learn. You will need to prepare food, clean up after yourself (maybe others) and leave the kitchen better than when you got there.

Not only was each course prepared so beautifully and tastefully, by I was amazed how he was able to acclimate to my small kitchen so quickly and make each course so seamlessly. We were able to choose our own combination of foods, adjusting to each of our own personal preferences. The outcome was so delicious that I honestly don't know which course I enjoyed more, not to mention the chocolate desert was outstanding! Thank you Evan for a delightful experience with you and your food presentations!

It was very intimate and Evan was so fun to have around. He cooked an amazing shrimp pasta, Brussel sprouts, a grilled Caesar salad, with his home made dressing & for dessert bananas foster! My dad loved his grilled Caesar salad so much he tried replicating it a few days later. We had great conversations with Evan and truly enjoyed having him at our house. He left the kitchen spotless and made it so my family could celebrate my mother! I highly recommend Evan for a personal chef.

Loaves are a little over 1.5 lbs, reasonably priced, and seem to be fresh baked daily. Car smelled incredible on the way home. Oatmeal raisin cookies were also amazing as were the scones and muffins. Next we try the bagels. Am so happy to support a family owned business committed to quality and kindness. Love it.

I enjoyed petting them and feeding the animals and being able to spend that time with the animals unlike in a crowded carnival style place that has a petting zoo. The staff who greeted us at the front were super sweet and friendly and playful too which makes the place feel just like another alternate world full of good, happy people. They have a little shop full of chocolates and when you enter, a staff member offers you a sample. She asked what we would like to try while kids received a milk chocolate with sprinkles on it. Because they're probably made with a lot of love and labor, the chocolates aren't cheap but not ridiculously overpriced either. I'm for sure the type though who would have spent a lot more on the chocolates if the tickets were cheaper but that's just me. I'm sure the ticket sales are better. A lot of people do walk out with purchasing any chocolate when I was there. I had fun looking at all of them though and deciding what I wanted. I will be back again when my children are a little older and it's a good excuse to stop by a winery while you're in the area.
