Undiscovered Charleston | 40 Archdale St.| For the full Holy City experience, this class will take you on a walking tour and educate you on Charleston before teaching a three-course cooking class. This class is known for its Lowcountry vibe.

  • Taste: shrimp and grits, Krispy Kreme bread pudding, and paired wines.
  • Talk: “A wealth of knowledge about history and cooking! Such a talented master chef and all around nice guy.” - Gazelle P. on Yelp

Tommy Alchemy | 391 Huger St. | When it comes to cooking classes, we have to toss in a well-known mixology class in CHS. These classes are a unique way to learn about Prohibition-era cocktails and sip on some classics.

  • Sip: whiskey sour, bee’s knees, and sidecar.
  • Talk: “One of the great balance of flavors I have had from a set of drinks. Ask any amount of questions and a welcomed answer will come your way.” - Garrett on Groupon
