Culinary Demonstrations

The Cucina, our culinary education center, offers a front-row seat to the art of cooking in a vibrant setting. Watch as expert guest chefs and Gervasi’s own culinary team demonstrate techniques for crafting everything from traditional Italian favorites to innovative seasonal dishes.

The diverse lineup of chefs brings fresh perspectives, flavors, and creativity to each class, ensuring an exciting and enriching experience for all attendees. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a beginner, these classes provide a fun and immersive way to enhance your culinary skills in a vibrant beautiful setting.

Due to our busy wedding season, we do not offer Cucina Classes during the summer months.
