Join us at Mid Pines to learn the in's and out's of a few go-to menu items, from cocktails to charcuterie. We're learning (and indulging in) two cocktails and three menu items to help you become the hostess everyone wants in their friends circle.

Picture this: You’re in your kitchen, surrounded by friends. All of them are asking you for your cocktail recipe. Your spread of appetizers is already becoming the stuff of neighborhood lore. And everyone’s wondering how you managed to pull it off.

We want to make this dream a reality. So we’ve partnered with the chef at Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club for our next round of SwaySkills, where even the worst of cooks can put together the best party menu.

Via hands-on demonstration stations, you’ll learn how to whip up 2 fancy cocktails, and 3 no-cook dishes to serve at your next gathering. Best of all, you get to taste test everything you make!

Craft your very own Sangria and a Peach-infused Lemonade, spiked of course. You’ll take home the recipes, and some extra knowledge on how to mix flavors.

Then, learn how to assemble a Charcuterie Board every guest (and their Instagram family) will drool over.

You’ll get the assembly instructions on a Caprese Skewer, a simple and fresh way to impress your guests and an easy potluck dish.

Last but not least, the experts will reveal how to assemble and arrange a Fruit & Cheese Platter — fitting for your kid’s school function and your next book club.

The $35 ticket covers your two cocktails and three dishes you can make and enjoy.
