Q: What should I bring?
If you'd like to take home a Starter Kit of your choice (1 type is included in price), in order to save on packaging waste, please bring along a water-tight 1-2L container (either stainless steel, glass or plastic) with its spill-proof lid. This will be used to transport home your Starter Kit (SCOBY and starter tea). Also bring an adventurous appetite for fun and learning!
Q: Do I need any prior knowledge/experience?
Not at all. This class is suitable for all levels of knowledge and experience.
Q: Is this class suitable for children or pregnant women? Does it contain alcohol or caffeine?
Our tasting portions are typically small (50ml). However, please note that one of our probiotic drinks (jun) can contain alcohol levels of above 2%. Kombucha typically has around 0.5-1% alcohol. In addition, since kombucha contains black tea, it does contain caffeine albeit at lower levels than a cup of tea. Jun contains green tea, which has lower levels of caffeine than black tea. However, you are free to not taste our fermented drinks if you are trying to avoid all traces of alcohol or caffeine. Again, the tasting quantities are such that minimal amounts of alcohol and caffeine will be ingested. However, please exercise your own discretion as to whether or not you (or your child) should consume.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 5 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2.5 hours, $99 - $109 per guest ($109 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $99/guest for 4+ guests. $55 per class surcharge applies for private classes)

Hi, I’m Mel from Solace Kitchen! For over 7 years I’ve followed my passion for catering, and for more than 5.5 years I ran Solace Café on Sydney’s Northern Beaches — a place that became known for its top ratings and welcoming atmosphere. Solace has been recognized as a Finalist in the Local Business Awards six years running, and that’s because I believe food should be more than just a meal — it should be an experience.Teaching has been one of the greatest joys of my journey. For the past 6 years, I’ve loved showing people how to cook delicious, nourishing food, grow their own produce, live more sustainably, and master the art of fermentation — from kombucha and jun to kefir.My most popular classes bring people together around flavor and fun:* How to Make Kombucha, Jun & Kefir — perfect for anyone curious about gut health and fermentation.* Paella & Churros Class — a vibrant, hands-on cooking experience that ends in a feast you’ll never forget.What excites me most is connecting with people, building community, and sharing my passion for a healthier, more satisfying lifestyle that’s good for both us and the planet. Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or simply enjoy great food, I’d love to welcome you into the Solace Kitchen community.
