Pasta-Making Class at Osteria Mozza, Los Angeles

At Osteria Mozza, Chef Kirby Shaw guides you through Nancy Silverton’s renowned approach to Italian cooking, starting with prosecco at the mozzarella bar. You’ll mix up your own pasta dough, with the experience culminating in a family-style feast featuring antipasti, the pasta you’ve made, and freshly spun gelato — all paired with wine.

Learn to Bake Classic French Croissants, Paris

There’s nothing quite like a warm, buttery croissant fresh from a Parisian oven. This experience lets you create that magic yourself. Founded by French food enthusiasts at Maison Fleuret, this hands-on class teaches you the intricate art of laminating dough, creating those signature flaky layers. As your pastries bake to golden perfection, your instructors will chat with you and share insider tips about Paris’ food scene.

Hydroponic Farm Dinner with Pierce Abernathy, New York City

You can get a behind-the-scenes look inside an indoor Brooklyn, New York hydroponic farm with this private dinner from chef and content creator Pierce Abernathy. The experience will start with a guided tour through stacks of floor-to-ceiling LED-lit greens, where you’ll pick herbs, microgreens, and edible flowers. Then, sit back, relax, and share a meal centered around those just-picked flowers, herbs, and greens.

Wine & Cheese Pairing Near the Eiffel Tower, Paris

Hidden behind an unassuming door near the Eiffel Tower, this secret wine shop hosts one of Paris’ most authentic tasting experiences. Over 90 minutes, you’ll sample six carefully selected French wines, including one Champagne, all sourced from independent winemakers in renowned regions. Each pour is expertly paired with artisanal cheeses and fresh bread from a local bakery.

Fly an Airplane Over Epic Landmarks, Los Angeles

Ever wondered what it feels like to pilot your own plane? This experience puts you in the copilot’s seat of a small aircraft with a certified flight instructor beside you. After a thorough briefing at Van Nuys Airport, you’ll take off and soar above Los Angeles, getting an unparalleled view of the Hollywood Sign, Downtown, and the sprawling cityscape below.
