Process and timeline

From the moment you book to the moment the chef says hello.

  1. When you book

    Hold your date

    A $250 deposit reserves the date and comes off the total in full. Dates 2 weeks out book instantly; sooner than that, ask and we can often expedite.

  2. Within a day

    Your event planner gets in touch

    Every event gets a dedicated planner, at no cost. They shape it around your team — the menu, the timings, dietary needs, and the parts that make it yours.

    • Free customization of the menu and the run of show
    • Free engagement games to open or close the session
    • Extra cheers, toasts and shout-outs for birthdays, wins and farewells
    • Dietary adjustments for anyone who needs them

  3. A week before

    Your shopping list arrives

    Suggestions rather than a fixed list, so everyone can work with what is already in their kitchen. Bring your own produce, jars and whatever else you fancy putting up.

  4. Event day

    Everyone joins and the chef takes it from there

    One link, no software to install. Your planner is on hand in the background if anything needs sorting mid-event.

    Q&A & group photo

    Where to buy them, how to store them, and the team photo.

Zoom

  • Your event planner sends the Zoom link with your confirmation, and again the day before.

Things you'll need

Everything else is in the box we ship to each guest.

Lead time
Short, and that is the advantage: with nothing to ship, this one can still make a date the others cannot.

What guests said about this experience

Verified guest

As a parent, I appreciated that the European vs American workshop was welcoming, well organized, and easy to enjoy without any special experience. Chef Emily kept the online format engaging from beginning to end, and I left with ideas I could share with my family. The activity was approachable for different ages and experience levels. European vs American made the experience especially memorable. Jessica, our Zoom facilitator, also kept the group laughing with quick team-building games.

Caleb

Verified guest

I had never tried anything like the European vs American workshop before, but Chef Emily explained everything in simple steps and made it easy to join in. I was surprised by how easy it was to follow online, and I finished the session feeling more confident and proud of what I had learned. I would happily try another beginner-friendly workshop. Each step built my confidence a little more. The quality of the fresh ingredients from Whole Foods really showed in the finished dish.

Hayden

Verified guest

As someone working toward becoming a chef, I joined the European vs American workshop to strengthen the creativity and presentation skills that also matter in the kitchen. Chef Emily broke the experience into clear, purposeful steps, and I left with fresh ideas and more confidence in my ability to guide a process from start to finish. I picked up techniques I can keep practicing at home.

Lucas

Verified guest

As the group organizer, I loved how easy it was to get the European vs American workshop underway and customize the details for our team. The virtual setup was smooth, Chef Emily kept everyone involved, and the event was genuinely fun from start to finish. The fresh ingredients from Whole Foods made the final dish taste especially vibrant.

Duration: 60 minFrom $109 per person

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 381 reviews

Bring your team together over world-class wines — no travel required. A Rockoly sommelier guides your group through a curated flight of mini bottles, each one a single serving, delivered right to every door. Mini wines from up and down the California coast — San Luis Obispo through to Sonoma County — with whites, reds and rosé in one box. The pick when the room drinks everything. Winemaker Matt Smith picked his top six wines of the year — a greatest hits album, but with wine. Crisp whites through to bold reds, and thirty years of winemaking in one box. The perfect pairing: five curated mini wines, five decadent chocolate truffles, and a Stag Head aerator to open up every sip.
