Is a cooking class or cocktail workshop cheaper?

Cocktail workshops are generally cheaper at EUR 44–87/person compared to cooking classes at EUR 56–143/person. However, cooking classes run longer (3–4 hours vs 2 hours), so the per-hour value is similar.

Which is better for large groups?

Cocktail workshops accommodate larger groups (up to 60 people) compared to cooking classes (up to 55). For groups over 55, a cocktail workshop is the better choice, or split into two cooking class sessions.

Which activity is better for team bonding?

Cooking classes encourage deeper collaboration — teams work in small groups preparing courses and sit down for a shared meal at the end. Cocktail workshops are more social and relaxed from the start, with natural conversation flowing throughout. Choose cooking for structured bonding, cocktails for casual socializing.
