I’m really excited to announce upcoming cooking classes being held on Waiheke Island at Rangihoua Estate. Classes will run all through the summer. You can make a single booking, or book a date of your choosing for a group of 10-12. Classes start with an olive oil tasting and tutorial at Rangihoua Estate, then a cooking class and lunch at Rangihoua Villa. It’s a culinary adventure, with lots to taste, lots to learn, and much fun to be had. It’s a great way to spend a day with friends, work colleagues or foodies.
