Corporate Team Building and Events
Saga Hill Cooking & Events makes it simple for you to host an interactive, four-star cooking event. It’s the perfect setting to create great memories working together with your colleges for a remarkable team-building experience.

Take your next meeting or office party out of the conference room and into Saga Hill’s elegant kitchen. Each unique event is a tour of the senses – gaze upon beautiful Lake Minnetonka, smell savory soups and sauces, taste the haute de cuisine you prepared with your team, and listen to entertaining music and upbeat conversation.

Saga Hill Cooking & Events is regularly featured in print and broadcast media. We are thrilled that our team building events and private parties have been such hits with Fortune 500 and other great companies.

 
How Team Building Events Work

 

Guests are divided into culinary teams to prepare recipes from your custom menu. Guests then enjoy their creations, with our professional chefs on hand to serve them.

Each cooking-event option focuses on fresh seasonal ingredients and your custom menu. All you have to do is come, participate and enjoy -- together we will create your most memorable event with outstanding food and service. Saga Hill Cooking & Events provides everything from setup to cleanup!

There are four appetizing interactive cooking class event options to choose from:

  • Kitchen Table

 

  • Chef Competition

 

  • Wine and Cheese Tasting

     
  • Custom Menu

 

Cooking Event Agenda

Choose the event format that fits your occasion. From our tapas style event, to a sit-down dinner where we serve you, or our extremely popular Chef’s Competition – Saga Hill Cooking Cooking & Evets takes care of serving and cleaning up so you can enjoy the event!

Event length
• 2.5 hours for Wine & Cheese Tasting.
• 3.5 hours for Kitchen Table or Chef’s Competition.

Guests are welcomed with canapés and a host-selected beverage, meet, greet and mingle with custom music selection.

Your personal event chef gives an informative and interactive cooking demonstration and shares practical cooking tricks of the trade. Guests are divided into teams to create their tantalizing menus at fully equipped cooking stations.

Each recipe and cooking station has detailed instructions and all of the necessary ingredients and cooking tools. Throughout the hour of cooking, our chefs are on hand to coach you.

After the event, we will send you the recipes from your event and digital photos to all your guests.
