12 Workshops & Classes in Poland Worth Rearranging a Day For

1.Warsaw’s No 1 cooking class-Polish dumplings with liqueur tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 576 reviews · 2 hours · from $77Our pick

Make Polish pierogi in a small Warsaw class, enjoy a family-style meal, and taste Polish liqueurs for a hands-on cultural experience.

“We signed up for the class as an early Mother's Day gift from my sister's children who are half-Polish and desperately miss their late Babcia's Cooking. Patrycya gave us a little background history on pierogi and then instructed us in making four varieties of Poland's favourite dish. The class was limited to a small number which enabled Patrycya to provide one on one instruction where necessary. After the pierogi was made, we were rewarded for our efforts by eating the fruits of our labour. Delicious! We can't wait to try our newly learned skills when we return to Australia. Highly recommended. Thank you, Patrycya.”
