What is the difference between a private and public sourdough class?

The private product reserves the experience for your own 2–12 guest group and collects preferred dates during purchase. The public sourdough calendar sells individual seats on specific scheduled dates with other students.

Private sourdough event or scheduled public class?

Both paths teach sourdough with Chef Evangalene, but the booking format, privacy, scheduling, and group experience are different.

Choose this private page when you want the experience reserved for your own couple, family, friends, celebration, homeschool group, or team. Choose the public sourdough calendar when one or two students are comfortable joining a scheduled class with other guests.

Questions before booking

Private sourdough class FAQ.

Exact answers about guest count, pricing, learning outcomes, date nights, scheduling, inclusions, and the difference between private and public classes.

Can I book a private sourdough class in Albuquerque?

Choose the guest-count package on this page, share your preferred dates and planning information, and complete checkout. Eat Well ABQ confirms the final available date, time, location, and event flow afterward.

How much does a private sourdough class cost?

The two-guest private sourdough package currently starts at $300. Larger packages are priced by guest count, with live prices shown in the package selector. Paid upgrades are separate Shopify cart items so the total remains visible before payment.

Is this a private sourdough date night?

Yes. The two-guest package is designed as a private sourdough date-night option and can also work for an anniversary, birthday, best-friend experience, or personal bread lesson. The Albuquerque Date Night Cooking Class guide compares this bread path with pasta and public-class options.

What will we learn in the private sourdough class?

Chef Evangalene guides the group through starter care, fermentation, dough feel, shaping, scoring, baking, troubleshooting, and the practical cues that help students repeat the process at home.

Is the private class beginner-friendly?

Yes. No previous sourdough experience is required. The class is hands-on and designed to help beginners understand the feel, rhythm, timing, and decision points behind sourdough bread.

How many guests can attend?

The live packages on this page are built for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 guests. Contact Eat Well ABQ for a feasibility and event-flow review when the group is larger than twelve.

What is included with every private package?

Private instruction, core ingredients, the two-loaf sourdough class format, starter education, recipe guidance, standard tools, setup, cleanup, wine based on one bottle per two adult guests, and private-event coordination are included unless a package explicitly states otherwise.

Am I buying an exact date or the private-event package?

You are purchasing the private sourdough package for the selected group size. The page collects preferred dates and planning details, but those requests are not guaranteed reservations. Eat Well ABQ confirms the strongest available date and final event plan after checkout.

How far in advance should I book?

Plan approximately one month ahead whenever possible. Private events require calendar coordination, ingredients, preparation, equipment, setup, and sometimes location planning. An earlier opening may occasionally be available.

Can allergies or dietary needs be accommodated?

List every known allergy or dietary need during checkout. Eat Well ABQ reviews the information before confirming the final plan and explains what can be accommodated safely. This is a wheat-based sourdough experience; use the gluten-free class path for dedicated gluten-free instruction.

Can I add wine, dessert, bread, a celebration setup, or a cake?

Available paid enhancements appear inside the package builder. Only currently available Shopify add-on variants are displayed, and every selected upgrade is added to the cart as a separate line item.

What is the difference between this page and the public sourdough calendar?

This page sells a private experience reserved for your own 2–12 guest group. The public sourdough class calendar sells individual seats on specific scheduled dates with other students.

What if sourdough is not the right private experience?

Compare pasta, birthdays, corporate events, team building, holiday gatherings, specialty baking, and kids cooking on the Private Cooking and Baking Events hub.
