If I had a live-in babysitter and my husband had six weeks of vacation a year AND I lived within driving distance of Branson, Missouri, I know exactly where I’d be the weekend of October 16 – 17.
The Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel in Branson, Missouri, is hosting a Cooking School Weekend. Now seriously, how much fun would that be?
Guests will be welcomed with a sumptuous Wine Tasting Reception followed by a cooking demonstration with the Hotel’s own Chef Nathan Read the next morning. The Chef will teach participants how to prepare the appetizers served at the Wine Tasting.
Saturday evening participants will experience a lavish four-course dinner paired with appropriate wines and learn how to prepare the featured meal the following morning. These meals are touted to be the perfect menus for the upcoming holiday season.
I don’t know about you, but they had me at Wine Tasting. No, actually, they had me at Cooking School Weekend. As much as I love to cook, and as many Food Network shows as I’ve watched, I’ve never had any professional instruction. I think that sounds like too much fun.
The package includes deluxe accommodations at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel for two people Friday and Saturday evening — all for just $398.00 plus tax for both nights. Now, that’s a pretty affordable weekend getaway, doncha think? And we’re talking Hilton, here, folks. While I’ve never been to Branson, Missouri, I have stayed at a few Hiltons, and they are, bar none, my favorite hotel chain.
In addition to posh accommodations and the Wine Tasting Reception and Cooking Training, there is easy access to shops, boutiques, restaurants, a river walk and other attractions in the area. So if you’re in the area and you like to cook and you’re in the market for a fun weekend getaway for two, here you go! You’re welcome.
that sounds SO fun!!
(i love hilton too – its the only chain we stay at!)
It’s my secret dream to go to culinary school. I keep thinking that in my “next life,” beyond kids and such, I will be a chef.
Who knows? It could happen!
Ohhh how I hate being broke because I am roughly two hours from Branson..oh this is just a teast ..so not fair.
My Husband and I are soo up for this! What a great place, location, Price! If only my due date with our first child wasn’t October 18th! Uggg… I don’t think our parents, or doctor would like it if we went out of the Cincinnati area that weekend. Oh well.
Darn it! When I saw your title, I thought you were going to it. And I was going to suggest we meet up. Not that I live in Branson. But 4 hours away isn’t too bad.
I LOVE the new look. It is awesome.
I’m 30 minutes away. I’m in Branson on most weekends and I hadn’t heard about this! Gotta see what I’m doing on that weekend….
Definitely my dream weekend.
Wish we both had the time and money for it because Branson is only a 6 hour drive from me!
