Private Classes
A Class Entirely Your Own
Private Classes are for those who want the full Hapuku Kitchen experience, exclusively for their own group. Whether it's a family gathering, a weekend away with friends, or a special occasion worth celebrating properly, you'll have Fiona, our gardens and our kitchen all to yourselves.
Choose a half-day or full-day format to suit your group and we'll tailor the menu around you — whether that means keeping things simple and fun for young children, or crafting a full seasonal feast to impress a group of keen cooks. We happily cater for specific dietary needs, including dairy-free and vegan, giving you far more flexibility than our regular shared classes allow.
Private Classes are ideal for families, friend groups, clubs and anyone celebrating a weekend away together — a relaxed, hands-on day that's easy to tailor to exactly who you are and what you're after.
Because it's just your group, the pace is entirely yours too — as leisurely or as focused as you'd like it to be.
