Your potato is about to have a serious career upgrade. At a casual Ballard cidery, you’ll learn how to transform simple ingredients into soft, tender handmade gnocchi while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for cooking, sipping and unwinding.

Begin by making the gnocchi dough, learning how to handle the mixture without overworking it. Next, roll the dough into ropes and cut it into individual dumplings, picking up practical techniques for shaping and preparing gnocchi along the way. You’ll then cook your handmade dumplings until they’re perfectly tender before finishing them with a flavorful sauce. Chef Jason makes the process beginner-friendly and hands-on, so you can focus on the satisfying rhythm of making pasta rather than stressing over culinary perfection. Come hungry, leave with new skills and enjoy the bragging rights that only homemade gnocchi can provide.
