One of our favorite activities and date night events is gearing up for the fall season, with added COVID-19 safety precautions. Boulder’s Food Lab provides a host of exciting food-based events to teach its guests the art, vision, and creativity behind world-class cuisine. Regardless of whether you desire to learn a new kitchen skill, taste exotic flavors, or simply get back out into the world, Food Lab’s fall classes have something for everyone.
In-Person Classes
Back by popular demand, Food Lab has recently opened up to host classroom sessions again at its Pearl Street location. Select from a variety of lessons, like “Date Night Bordeaux” or “Fresh Pasta Series”, and pretend you’re on a thrilling European vacation. For three hours, glean kitchen techniques from experienced teachers, sip wine or beer, and indulge in a delicious tasting menu for the finale. Here are some we are most looking forward to.
