Recharge with a cooking class
Hens party cooking classes in Melbourne are the perfect way to bring everyone together because it involves teamwork and there’s a great reward at the end. With thousands of cooking classes to choose from, simply decide which will suit the hens party best.
How about a seafood BBQ cooking class in Brunswick? In this three hour workshop, you’ll learn how to master the art of producing the most spectacular seafood BBQ with your hens party. As you’ll learn the techniques for marinating the seafood to perfection, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy some nice wines to accompany a beautiful dinner together at the end of the workshop.
Love Thai food? Try a Thai cooking class where you’ll enjoy a glass of wine on arrival before our local expert teaches a fun and engaging dinner class. You’ll learn how to replicate Thai cooking techniques and learn loads of tips and tricks to blend spices perfectly. At the end of the class, you’ll be able to sit down together and enjoy an amazing meal you’ve just cooked with a large glass of vino in hand.
Or learn how to make pasta from scratch with an expert Otao chef in Abbotsford. In this fun class, you’ll be taught how to make Italian favourites such as fresh egg pasta and potato gnocchi and you’ll be taught which vegetables and herbs work so well together. Choose a lovely cold glass of white wine on arrival and enjoy learning new recipes and cooking together with your party. When the class has finished, you’ll be able to sit down together with more wine whilst you eat your dinner. Older guests can head off afterwards and you can get the party started with that pub crawl!
Our cooking classes don’t only make excellent hen party ideas in Melbourne, they are an excellent opportunity to help you feel more confident with your cooking skills. We all get stuck in ruts with knowing what to cook, but you could feel so empowered after the class to start cooking more restaurant-worthy meals at home, helping you improve your health & wellness.
Unwind with a paint and sip class
Looking to do something a little bit different during the hens party in Melbourne? Why not try an evening paint and sip class. With no experience necessary, you’ll be encouraged to either sip on a glass of wine or non-alcoholic drink for the non-drinkers in the party and have fun whilst painting your own version of a modern masterpiece.
Fancy painting your partners at a paint and sip class. Simply get a photo of your partner before the class starts on your phone and learn how to paint them during the class. You could play a little joke and all paint the hen’s husband to be. Imagine the look on her face when you all reveal you’ve painted him! It will be a good wedding present for the groom! Alternatively, you could opt for the paint your pet class instead! Paint your loving pet and feel proud of being able to hang your painting proudly at home, remembering what an awesome hens party it was too.
These are only two suggestions from a huge range of paint and sip classes in Melbourne. The options are endless on what you could be painting in your class, simply pick a class and enjoy the creative journey!
