Lunar New Year Dumpling and Vino Night
Join us for a hands-on Dumpling Masterclass and learn the art of dumpling making from scratch. Arrive from 6:00pm to enjoy a glass of wine or beer on arrival before the class begins at 6:30pm.
Over two delicious hours (6:30–8:30pm), our chefs will guide you through the full dumpling-making process — from making your own dough and rolling wrappers, to preparing your filling of choice and shaping dumplings like a pro. Dairy-free and vegan options are available (please note: gluten-free is not available).
As you cook, enjoy nibbles, then finish by steaming or pan-frying your dumplings with help from our chefs before sitting down to eat your creations. The class wraps up at 8:30pm, leaving plenty of time to head off and enjoy the Lunar New Year fireworks afterwards.
