“Jackie created the most welcoming space. We had different abilities in our group and she supported everyone with patience and kindness.”
Fleurieu Food and Wine is an award winning Adelaide cooking school offering hands on foodie experiences across the Fleurieu Peninsula. Our commitment to inclusion means every guest feels supported, safe and welcome in our classes, no matter your experience, confidence or access needs.
If you are planning a foodie day trip from Adelaide or visiting South Australia and want to check access, parking, dietary options or support needs, we are always happy to talk before you book.
Because we teach at beautiful venues across the Fleurieu Peninsula, accessibility varies. We prioritise venues with flat paths, nearby parking and clear access. We explain any access limitations up front and recommend the best dates and venues for your needs.
Jackie is trained in Adult Education and adapts pacing, instructions and teaching style to suit different learning needs. Our classes are relaxed, small group and designed so nobody feels rushed.
With lived experience of managing significant allergies in her own family, Jackie takes dietary requests seriously. We cannot certify for coeliac but all dietary accommodations receive equal care and attention.
