02/05/17Private Cocktail Class with Mixologist and Founder of Swig Swallow April Wachtel
April was amazing! So organized and flexible and super friendly. She helped us choose cocktails based on our group's favorite spirits and they were all unusual and delicious. There as a lot of communication before the evening so everything went super smoothly. I can't recommend this experience highly enough--everyone had a blast and would love to do it again! THANK YOU!

The James Beard Foundation
The James Beard Foundation promotes good food for good™. For more than 30 years, the James Beard Foundation has highlighted the centrality of food culture in our daily lives. Through the James Beard Awards, unique dining experiences at the James Beard House and around the country, scholarships, hands-on learning, and a variety of industry programs that educate and empower leaders in the culinary community, the Foundation has built a platform for chefs and asserted the power of gastronomy to drive behavior, culture, and policy change around food. To that end, the Foundation has also created signature impact-oriented initiatives that include our Women’s Leadership Programs aimed at addressing the gender imbalance in the culinary industry; advocacy training through our Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change; and the James Beard Foundation Leadership Awards that shine a spotlight on successful change makers in our food system. The organization is committed to giving chefs a voice and the tools they need to make the world more sustainable, equitable, and delicious for everyone.
