Chef Ben was a joy to work with. This was meant as a team building activity for a group of sales professionals. He was prepared once we got the site and had everything laid out. He made simple instructions which were easy to follow. He was knowledgeable and was patient with our fun-loving team.

Had such a really fun time and learned a skill that used to be intimidating for me, but now feels like something I could pretty easily do at home! Such a great date activity. The Grafted Cellars venue was also great!
