I can highly recommend this course for everyone who wants to learn how to bake sourdough.
The teacher is really friendly, has very good knowledge and makes the course fun.
I thought we would experiment with rye flour but I do understand know why this isn't right for beginners. My goal is to bake awesome rye sourdough and the course gave me the tips and tricks to make it happen. Thank you!

The teacher was really great. As there was quite a lot of waiting around for the dough to be ready, it’s a lot of work to keep everyone engaged but she did it really well!

I had such a great time at this workshop! Our instructor Emilie was fantastic. Really knowledgeable, and had lots of tips and tricks. It was awesome that all the materials were supplied so I didn't have to worry about bringing anything with me. The small class size allowed lots of interaction with the other participants. The WorkShop venue was very cool. Really versatile and worked well for this particular workshop. I definitely feel like I got good bang for my buck!

Drawing Class for Beginners

This was a very helpful beginner’s class. It included techniques to help with some basic drawing and shading skills. The progression through the technique exercises was clear and achievable. There was also an opportunity to start your own drawing. As an absolute beginner I appreciated the structure and information in the class.

Bucks party activities have come a long way since their origins in fifth-century Sparta. Back then, bachelor party planning was customary for husband-to-be to enjoy a feast in his honour the night before the wedding. During the renaissance, knights would indulge in the evening before marrying as well, leading to the first recorded use of the word “bachelor”, which originally meant “young-knight-in-training.” The bucks party tradition grew stronger as time went on until it snowballed into the celebratory staple we know today. Even in the late 1800s, famous magician P.T Barnum’s grandson had indulged in such excessive bachelor party planning that the night ended in a police officer being brought before a tribunal after creating so much noise in his attempt to shut the party down in the early hours of the morning. With such cultural pressure extending all the way back to ancient Greece, it’s crucial that your bucks party ideas are on point. That’s why Classbento puts an emphasis on workshops that cater for unique bucks party ideas, with the best options that avoid the well-worn path of paintball and drinking competitions that Melbourne offers up.

Let’s be honest with ourselves, a central theme of any bucks night planning is the drinking, and with so many fun things to do in Melbourne, it’s easy to incorporate it into your unique bucks party ideas. That’s why one of our multitude of cocktail making classes are a perfect alternative to a pub crawl or pre-drinks. Getting your party compadres shaking, stirring and pouring delicious ice-cold cocktails is a perfect way to start of a bucks weekend and get everyone loosened up for what else you have in store. 

Getting something in your stomachs is important too, and no bachelor party planning is complete without a quality meal. But instead of just sitting down for a meal, why not make it yourself? Our Melbourne workshops have an array of cooking classes that puts other Aussie cities to shame, with a variety of cuisines from all over the world. Want a challenge? Get the gang smoking a brisket whilst sampling a selection of the country’s craftiest beer. Need something crisper for your bucks party ideas? Gather the groom and the gang and enjoy a gin masterclass with Four Pillars Gin in the heart of chapel st! Once you’ve worked your appetite up, our Asian Finger Food cooking class is a great choice if the tummies are rumbling, and to keep the bucks party activities rolling! Finger food classes such as these, as well as BBQ School’s Tapas class, are a good way of making sure everyone has food in their stomach, but no one is so full that dinner may reappear later, and your bucks weekend can continue without incident!

If you’re looking for bucks party activities outside the culinary realm, our range of paint and sip classes will get the gang creatively boisterous, as you enjoy a drop of vino whilst composing an acrylic or watercolour masterpiece. This will certainly add a touch of civility to your bucks night plans in Melbourne, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t raucously enjoyable!

Most of our Melbourne workshops cater to private bookings to ensure that private groups get the special attention their evening requires, which is ideal when sifting through your stag do ideas. Class instructors also offer tailored packages to suit, as well as additional extras and unique services upon request. To get the most out of your bachelor party planning, it’s always worth talking to the workshop’s instructor first, to see what they can offer you and your pre-nuptial bux party squad. Many of our Melbourne classes can travel to you (most notably the cocktail classes) and it’s always worth checking which one of our Melbourne workshops have a BYO policy, as many of our food and drink workshops either serve alcohol or allow you to bring your own. 

A Bucks party is a cultural staple for a reason, and it’s important you provide the blushing hubby-to-be with an experience he’ll never forget, even if he can’t remember. The world’s most liveable city certainly has an array of bachelor party ideas to choose from and with so many options available, it’s easy to get crippled by choice. But don’t let that discourage you from discovering the most unique bucks party ideas Melbourne has to offer! Let Classbento make the selection easier, with our selection of workshops and activities to ensure you, the buck, and every member of the gang get the most out of your stag do.
