News & Events

Cocktail Classes at Mad River make for the perfect gift or group activity. Learn cocktail history and fundamentals while sampling the subject matter. Classes are $50 per person and include a cocktail, and a number of samples.

Classes will be available (1) Sunday a month starting in February 2019, with the potential for more depending on demand.

Classes will be capped at 10 people.

If you have a larger group or want a private class (minimum 4 people) let us know and we can work with you to arrange it.

Classes are 90 minutes long, interactive and to some degree hands-on. They're a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon while gaining some new skills and knowledge. Check out our upcoming classes and reserve your spot now!
