A hands‑on, small‑batch adventure for food lovers.
Fresh curds. Warm milk. Big smiles. Zero big groups.
Ready to get a little… hands‑on? Our private cheesemaking experience is a deliciously cheeky way to spend a few hours, learning how to turn simple milk into two absolute show‑offs: silky ricotta and stretchy, shiny mozzarella.
This is an exclusive booking for 2–6 people, so it’s just you, your favourite humans, and a whole lot of curd‑based mischief. No strangers. No crowds. No awkward “who’s stirring next” moments.
You’ll heat, stir, stretch, shape — and maybe brag a little — as you create both cheeses from scratch. We’ll chat about the best ways to serve them too: warm mozzarella torn over tomatoes, ricotta whipped into something dangerously moreish… you get the idea.
And yes, you take your very own ricotta and mozzarella home. Show it off. Eat it immediately. Pretend you’re now a cheesemaker. We support all choices.
A fun, tasty, slightly addictive Tasmanian experience for couples, friends, families, or anyone who believes cheese is a love language.
Price is $185 per person
