Classes

Classes at Valley Olive Oil in McGaheysville that are open to everyone, can be registered for using the link below for an Open Class.

All private events will be provided with a designated sign up link just for your group.

All open to the public events with us, held at other local venues, will be found by the Other Venue Classes button found through our Classes buttons below.  Registration for these events will be through the venue itself or through our designated link, and the link to either will be next to that classes' details.

Our tiered classes will be using knives and carving tools.  These classes are limited to ages 16 and above for safety.  Kids may not be present for the tiered classes.  Depending on the venues rules, our tiered classes may also have your choice of beverage during the class, however, food during the class is discouraged due to space needed for the class activities.  Our tiered classes can be booked for only one tier choice, or for a mixed selection of tiers within the group as each tier contains the same group carving and folding portion.  The other tiers build on top of the previous class, with additional charcuterie food items, the option of a beautiful locally hand crafted artesian charcuterie carving board by Stray Cat Designs, and the option of Valley Olive Oil & Balsamic dipping sets and accompaniments. 

Our Kids Class is a child friendly class that does not include the use of carving tools for safety.  We have selected foods that are more child friendly and great for all ages.  If you would like a similar class with different options or with allergy concerns in mind, please reach out to us.  We are happy to accommodate if possible.  Our kids class may not be a mixed class with the tiered class options for adults due to safety.  Our class is recommended for ages that are able to sit with the group and follow fun simple instruction with a parent present.

Our classes typically require approximately 30 minutes to set up and approximately 15 minutes to break down and clean up depending on the size of the group and the location or venue for the class to be held at.  All food safe practices are adhered to and prep of all food items is performed in the kitchen area of Valley Olive Oil & Balsamics in McGaheysville VA.  All fruits and vegetables are washed in a fruit and vegetable soak.  Class boxes are pre prepped and transported in coolers with icepacks.
