Food and Wine School Curated by Feast On

Cocktail Class
Guests will have the opportunity to make unique drinks during Cocktail Class. These sessions will be taught by celebrity bartenders, including Food Channel host Kevin Brauch. Each Cocktail Class is unique and will feature different drinks including Perfect Caesars, Cherry Bomb, Hibiscus Margarita, Frosted Shakes and When The Saints. Sessions will include sample tastings of all cocktail creations. Be sure to share your photos on social media.
Art Installations
