Private Culinary Experiences

Group Dining Experiences in the Culinary Garden

Private culinary experiences provide a chance to savor exceptional food in an intimate setting.

Garden-to-Table Culinary Experience

Step into the San Antonio Botanical Garden’s one-acre Culinary Garden for a private, seasonal experience designed just for your group. Guided by our chefs, guests will harvest fresh ingredients and take part in a hands-on cooking activity centered around one signature recipe. This dish becomes the highlight of the event, complemented by additional chef-prepared bites that showcase the flavors of the season.

Perfect for groups seeking a 1–2-hour interactive culinary adventure, this experience blends garden-fresh inspiration with memorable tastes shared together.

Duration: 1–2 hours
Price: $55 per person
Group size: 20-40 guests

Immersive Garden Culinary Class

Gather with friends or colleagues in the San Antonio Botanical Garden’s Outdoor Teaching Kitchen for a private, themed culinary adventure. Led by our garden chefs, guests will explore techniques and flavors through a mix of hands-on cooking and chef demonstrations. Together, you’ll prepare dishes that highlight the season’s freshest ingredients, then come together to enjoy them family-style.

Perfect for groups seeking a more in-depth, shared experience, this class blends interactive learning with the joy of garden-inspired dishes.

Duration: 2-3 hours
Price: $90 per person
Group size: 20-40 guests

Please Note: If weather prevents use of the Outdoor Teaching Kitchen, an alternative location or our indoor classrooms will be arranged to ensure your group’s comfort.
