Hands-On Dumpling Class with Fleurieu Food and Wine

The Ultimate Dumpling Making Experience is a hands-on cooking class designed for food lovers who want to learn how to make dumplings from scratch using proper technique and repeatable methods they can confidently recreate at home. The experience begins with an introduction to dumpling styles and dough fundamentals. Guests learn about different types of dumplings, wrapper thickness, dough texture and how small adjustments in technique can dramatically improve the final result. Guests are guided step by step through making dumpling dough, rolling wrappers and preparing flavour-packed fillings. You will learn how to handle dough correctly, achieve the right balance between filling and wrapper, and fold dumplings so they hold their shape and cook evenly. Held at Lot 50 in Yankalilla, the class is relaxed, social and highly practical, with plenty of time to cook, learn and ask questions throughout the session. Once folded, guests learn how to cook dumplings properly using a range of techniques including steaming, boiling and pan-frying. Cooking methods, timing and heat control are covered in detail to ensure juicy fillings, tender wrappers and crisp bases where required.
