Send in the drummers! It’s day 12 of our Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas and we want to be played out in style.

iYellow Wine Club

Cracking a bottle of wine at the end of a long day is great, unless you don’t know what wine is going to pair best with your dinner, pyjamas, or reality television program. At iYellow Wine Club, you’re not only invited to enjoy more than a few glasses, but they’ll make sure you’re learning something along the way! With tastings in their wine cave, tours to Tuscany, and wine school courses that’ll have you swirling, smelling, and sipping like a pro, you’ll never look at a glass the same way again. Sign up for any of their fun events, or get them to take care of your next private function. Cheers!

Le Dolci

We don’t know about you, but baking lessons from our grandmas always resulted in some wooden spoon whippings. When you want to have your last course dazzle as brilliantly as your first, it’s time to take a class at Le Dolci. If raw batter and the smell of baked goods isn’t enticing enough, this bakery is offering a 6 week baking bootcamp, and classes ranging from parisian macarons to designer cupcakes. Whether you grab a few friends, or give someone the hint that their desserts could use improving, the warm and welcoming studio is even better than santa’s workshop, cranking out year round treats. Here’s to having first dibs on licking the bowl!
