I had the pleasure of attending a croissant baking class, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Carolina, our instructor, set a warm and welcoming tone for the class. She was not only incredibly informative but also made the entire learning process fun and engaging.
Carolina's passion for baking was evident in every explanation and demonstration. She broke down each step with patience and clarity, making even the most complicated techniques feel approachable. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she ensured everyone in the class felt comfortable and encouraged to participate.
What stood out most was the hands-on aspect of the class. Rolling, folding, and shaping the dough was both challenging and rewarding. As we worked through the process, I gained a genuine appreciation for the skill and effort involved in creating authentic, flaky croissants. Carolina’s tips and tricks gave me the confidence to try making them at home on my own.
Overall, I had a fantastic time. The class was not only educational but also a lot of fun. I left with delicious pastries, new skills, and a deeper respect for the art of croissant making. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in baking, regardless of your experience level.
I had an amazing experience at the Vitupero Baking croissant class. This was an excellent, real-time, in-person baking lesson that exceeded my expectations. Javi is an outstanding instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about baking. She explained each step clearly and shared professional tips that made the process approachable and enjoyable. After attending the class, I felt confident enough to start baking croissants at home, and they turned out great! If you’re serious about learning how to make croissants properly, I highly recommend this class.

Fun class! Delicious end to a neat experience.
Best decision I made was going to the sourdough class. I love everything about it from the instructor Javi to the assistant and not to mention the dinner 😋. I will definitely be going back for other classes. I promise you would not regret any class you take with Javi. She would make you feel comfortable.
Javi was a wonderful instructor!!! Can't wait to take another class.
Taking the Sourdough Masterclass at Vituperio was one of the best investments I’ve made in my baking journey. I had been searching for local baking classes that offer comprehensive technical training, but most of the ones I found were more about the experience than the education—a fun weekend social event for couples and friends rather than serious learning. (When people show up with champagne and orange juice for mimosas, you know it’s not a rigorous training.)
Not at Vituperio.
Don’t get me wrong—it was a social experience and we had fun, but the focus was on learning. Every participant was there to truly understand the craft, and the class itself was exceptionally well-run and organized.
Bottom line: Before this class, I had never even attempted to bake sourdough. After this class, I can successfully and consistently produce a good bake. That alone speaks volumes.
Oh, and the lunch was fantastic. Honestly, I’d go back just for that! But more importantly, I’ll be going back for many more classes because Vituperio is the real deal—a personal, intimate, and professional culinary school.
The staff was warm and welcoming, and Javiera, the Head Baker, is a phenomenal teacher. She’s kind, thoughtful, sophisticated, and truly knows how to teach. What more could you ask for?
If you’re serious about learning to bake, this is the place to go.
Javi and her team provide a great class in sourdough making. We learned about the precise measurements, the “why’s” and many other factoids along with recipes for the sourdough, discard and even a wonderful farro salad!!
If you’re looking to brush up on your skills OR, like me, a beginner who knows nothing, you’re in great hands! Expect to come away with the knowledge of how to prepare & maintain a starter, create levain, create sourdough loaf, what to do with discard & the tools needed to become a pro!
Wonderful class— Thanks Vituperio!!!
My husband and I received a gift card to attend a class at Vituperio, and we were so excited to see a class where you could learn to make pasta AND a dessert. We had an easy experience getting to the kitchen, where there was ample parking. The kitchen itself feels homey and so clean, thanks to the amazing team! We made two kinds of ravioli, pumpkin rolls and tiramisu. The whole group divided and conquered, and we had a delicious dinner at the end. Bonus is that you can BYOB and there was fresh sourdough to snack on while we cooked. It was so much fun! What a great way to meet new people and learn something new in a relaxed and positive environment. Javi is a wonderful teacher and we look forward to going back again for another class!
