Explore Charleston through Lowcountry food, history, wine, and a chef-led cooking class with Forrest Parker in this intimate half-day tour.

Definitely will recommend to friends and family!”

Learn to make gumbo, shrimp étouffée, and bananas Foster in a small, hands-on New Orleans cooking class with wine included.
“Absolutely amazing! Our teacher Raymond obviously loves cooking, and he taught us a few cooking techniques as we were making the food. It wasn't intimidating at all for someone who might not be familiar with the kitchen. Raymond has a great resume on him too — he cooked for the Super Bowl and has won many cooking competitions. He taught us 2 dishes — Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo, Shrimp Etouffee — and he made the dessert Bananas Foster for us. The gumbo our class made was the best gumbo we've ever had in our lives! Highly recommend this class to anyone curious about Cajun food.”

“Not knowing exactly what to expect… we were greeted as if we were long lost friends… Courtland delivered an amazing meal while showing us around the property… from fresh grown vegetables and herbs from his garden to the family heirloom cookware he used… every detail was thought out and executed perfectly… I highly recommend this one of a kind experience and will definitely do it again!!!”
