Flower Arranging Class with Alice's Table
Date: September 8, 2019
Time: 1:00pm -3:00pm

Please join us at Mackinaw Valley Winery for an early evening flower arranging workshop with an instructor from Alice’s Table! Create a beautiful summer arrangement to take home while learning tips and tricks to use again and again. The flower arranging can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the complexity and format of the arrangement.
Alice’s Table provides aprons for you to wear for the duration of the event. Working with flowers can be messy, so make sure to wear something you won’t mind getting a little dirty. You don’t need to bring anything out of the ordinary with you – we provide the flowers, vases, and tools you will need to create your arrangement.  Class fee includes three samples of their fabulous wines! You can bring snacks or enjoy cheese and crackers from Ropp Jersey Cheese or Chocolatier Confection Chocolates, available in the tasting room.
Reserve spots for a party of five or more and get 10% off
