Aprons at the Ready
Step into the mood with a warm welcome, slip on your apron and get comfy with your crew. It's time to shake off the day and dive into something deliciously different.
Mix, Shake and Pour
Kick things off behind the bar with your very first cocktail. Follow the lead of expert mixologists as you learn how to muddle, shake and pour like a pro.
Sip and Repeat
Cheers! Enjoy your first creation, then head back to the bar to mix up cocktail number two. It’s all about tasting, tweaking and having fun with flavour.

Switch gears and get in the mood for food. Choose your dumpling filling, learn how to fold them and make dumplings that look (almost) too good to eat.

Your handcrafted dumplings are whisked away to the kitchen where they’ll be steamed, pan-fried or deep-fried to perfection. Now’s the time to grab a seat and get excited for the feast ahead.
Enjoy Your Feast
Gather around and tuck into your freshly made dumplings alongside your cocktails. You’ve earned it! Savour every bite and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to make delicious cocktails and dumplings! Have our chefs teach you our perfected recipes for two styles of dumplings, with just the right amount of herbs and spices.

While we do that, you will learn about some original Asian style cocktails, and you'll enjoy getting hands-on as you make (and enjoy) two different cocktails. Ideal skills for your next dinner party! During the class, you will make and enjoy:
Pork and lemongrass dumplings
Mushroom and vegetable dumplings
Lychee cocktail
Popo trio cocktail

Recent reviews of Cocktail and Dumpling Making Class
5/5 from Angelo Vranistas, attended Sep 2026: What a wonderful afternoon we had. This was part of my wife’s surprise birthday celebration. Max our teacher for the day treated us to a delicious cocktail making class. Very easy to make these and the whole group enjoyed the day. Then we started to make our own dumplings. We made a variety of shapes and had a lot of fun together. Then we ate what we could as these were cooked 3 ways, deep fried, steamed and pan fried. They were delicious and easy to make. Once our class was done, sat outside in the courtyard and enjoyed the rest of our cocktails and wonderful food we made. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Very suitable for couples, team building and families. Really enjoyed our experience and thanks to thr team.

5/5 from Kiara Romeo, attended Sep 2026: Danielle was very knowledgeable about everything from the cocktails to the dumplings. She kept the class super engaging and explained everything so clearly so that we knew why we were adding what we were adding. The actual class only went for about 1.5-2 hours, and after they give you a table with your own partner/group to eat your dumplings and sit and relax and order more food/drinks if you want any! And you make soooo many dumplings! My partner and I made about 30 or so between the two of us, and when cooked 3 ways, you’re definitely getting your lunch in. Would highly recommend coming to this class!

4/5 from Chloe Jensen, attended Jul 2026: Cocktail teacher was great, was fun. However because we did Cocktail making first (12pm), by the time we finished making the dumplings and actually ate, it was quite late. Might be better to make dumplings, then do Cocktails while the dumplings are cooking.
4/5 from Angela Howie, attended Jul 2026: Great hosts and a fun activity to do with friends. Ideally recipes for cocktails and dumplings would have been printed or emailed.
