Cooking Class and Wine Pairing Experience
Discover the secrets of Turkish gastronomy with a personal cooking class in a local culinary school in Çorlu. After the class, use your new culinary skills to create a lavish meal which you both can enjoy together. End the day with a professional wine pairing experience.
- You patch together an afternoon off to take your beloved to a local culinary school. Under the guidance of a professional Turk chef, you'll learn to manipulate the rich and diverse ingredients of Turkish cuisine. After the hands-on cooking class, you'll use your new culinary skills to whip up a meal for two. The chef will guide you on plating it such that it looks as exquisite as it tastes.
- Sit down afterwards and enjoy the fruits of your labor together. Nothing spells romance like a meal cooked together. As you savor your creations, engage in discussions about your favorite dishes and your culinary journey.
- Wrap up the session with a small wine pairing class. Learn about the different types of Turkish wines and which dishes they complement best. Become an expert in pairing wines and learn tips to create a harmonious culinary symphony taking your dining experiences to a new level.
Preparation steps:
- First, book your slots at the cooking class, preferably a week in advance. Make sure you choose a class that focuses on Turkish cuisine, so you both can learn about and appreciate the local culture. Also, check in advance if the class includes a wine pairing lesson.
- On the day of the class, wear something comfortable yet stylish. Since you’ll be working with food and foul-smelling ingredients, avoid wearing heavy perfume or scented body lotion that might interfere with your sense of smell. Ensure you show up a few minutes early, so you can settle in comfortably and not miss any part of the class.
- Finally, don't forget to keep an open mind. Cooking is all about creativity and passion, and this class is about learning and having fun, not about getting everything perfect. So relax, laugh at your mistakes, and enjoy this unique experience.

Some tips:
- Check beforehand if the cooking class is beginner-friendly. Most classes cater to all skill levels, but it's always good to confirm in advance. Don’t shy away from asking questions during the class, it’s a great opportunity to learn and the chefs are usually happy to share their knowledge.
- The wine tasting part of the class is all about the senses: sight, smell, and taste. Learn the correct way to hold a wine glass, how to swirl the wine to let it breathe, and the right way to sniff and savor the aroma. Remember, there are no wrong answers in a wine tasting, it's all about perceiving the various flavors and aromas you identify in the wine.
- Double check class timings and make sure to arrive a little earlier than the scheduled time. It's not only respectful to the instructor and your classmates, but it also gives you time to adjust in the new environment, change (if necessary) and get ready for the culinary adventure ahead.
