Description

Good to Know

Experience the ultimate hands-on sourdough class with a self-taught Italian baker and mother of four, set on a breathtaking ocean view deck in La Jolla. Unlike typical baking classes, every guest takes home a gourmet take-and-bake loaf, their own starter, and a recipe guide to continue the experience at home. Enjoy a thoughtful light lunch or dinner while soaking in panoramic coastal views, and bring your own wine for a relaxed, sophisticated touch. Perfect for all skill levels and ages, this family-friendly, immersive class combines luxury, fun, and education in a way no other baking experience can. Personalized guidance, stunning scenery, and authentic Italian techniques make this truly unforgettable.

Meals

During this immersive 4-hour class, enjoy a light lunch or dinner—fresh salad and local pizza—perfectly timed to keep you energized while baking. Wine is BYO for a relaxed, personalized touch.

Private transportation

Alcoholic beverages

We’re excited to welcome you to our class! You’re welcome to bring a bottle of wine, but we ask all guests to enjoy responsibly so everyone can fully enjoy the hands-on experience.

Check us out. Join a hands-on sourdough baking class with a self-taught Italian baker and mother of four! This experience starts with a quick meet-and-greet before we roll up our sleeves and dive into mixing, kneading, and shaping your dough. Learn fun, educational techniques that make sourdough approachable for all skill levels. Classes are held on a stunning ocean facing deck in La Jolla, with breathtaking views. In the rare case of strong winds, we’re prepared to move indoors. Each participant leaves with a take-and-bake sourdough loaf, a starter, recipe packet, and tips guide so you can continue baking at home. This is a family-friendly event, but each participant must have their own paid seat. For safety and cleanliness, no animals are allowed. Depending on the class, a light lunch or dinner may also be provided.

Waves Crashing, Bread Baking, and the Magic of a Kitchen Filled With Friends

What a wonderful experience! Our sourdough baking teacher April, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and thorough with her instruction. Her beautiful kitchen, lovely home, and breathtaking ocean view made the class feel warm, inspiring, and unforgettable. Some experiences have a kind of quiet beauty to them — not flashy, just deeply nourishing. A cozy kitchen, someone teaching with care, the smell of sourdough, the ocean outside the window… those are the kinds of moments I will cherish for yea...read more

Warm, welcoming, and so fun!!

I had such a wonderful experience at this sourdough bread making class. April was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer everyone’s questions in a way that felt approachable and engaging. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We made our own loaves, enjoyed some wine, shared a delicious meal, and connected with such a friendly group of people. It truly felt like more than just a class; it was a full experience. Easily a five-star evening and I would highly recommend it to anyone inte...read more
