Named one of the "10 Great Places to Put your Mom into the Kitchen" in a USA Today article on recreational cooking schools and one of the "top 5 B-and-B's in Texas" by Texas Highways Magazine, Blair House Inn in Wimberley, Texas offers monthly three-day cooking classes at our lovely country inn on 22 rolling acres.
Each hands-on class focuses on a different cuisine, from Classic French to Texas Hill Country. You will get to try your hand at scores of recipes, learn basic and advanced techniques, take home tips to make cooking easier and fun, and delight in the fruits of your labor with full meals of everything you cook in class. Executive Chef Joey Kulivan will help you build your confidence by teaching you practical principles and techniques--from how to purchase the freshest seasonal foods to preparation, presentation, and serving. You'll return home with a smile on your face, a manual filled with information, and more recipes to stimulate your creativity in the kitchen. You can be a novice or an expert and still come away with a few culinary secrets in tow.
You can also enjoy Wimberley, a thriving artists' community with over 45 shops and galleries, tucked away in the Texas hill country. Or, you can simply relax on our grounds or a rejuvenating massage.Visit local wineries
