Cooking School
Our Cooking School is open with limited seating that ensures proper social distancing. (Please note, we reserve the right to substitute one of our skilled in-house chefs for visiting guest chefs as needed.)
All fees are refundable and/or transferable up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled class. Refunds will not be given for cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice; however, any guest who is ill or has COVID-19-like symptoms is eligible to receive a credit towards future classes. Seating is first come, first served. For group reservations of 5+ seats, 5 business days must be provided in order to receive a full refund. If we must cancel a class, those signed up will be contacted by phone and a full refund will be issued. If you require handicapped seating arrangements, please call our Guest Services team Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
The Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School offers award-winning cooking classes for all levels and abilities. Held in our York Maine location, professional chefs and Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School instructors prepare tasty, demonstration-style classes that teach new techniques to inspire you in your home kitchen.

Your card will be charged on the day of your cooking class. [DETAILS]You will see a credit card authorization appear on your statement or in your banking records prior to your cooking class. This is standard procedure to verify that your credit card is in good standing and that funds are available. Since your credit card will not be charged until the day of the class, you will not be charged twice, as this pre-authorization will automatically expire in accordance to the timeframe set by your financial institution and no action is required on your part.
