Make a Day of It
Singleton's heritage buildings, the Hunter River, and the surrounding wine country are all worth exploring. Combine your masterclass with visits to Hunter Valley wineries, the Pokolbin wine region, or the Broke Fordwich wine region for a full day in wine country.
What You'll Cook
Every masterclass features a full gaucho feast — cooked by you, over real wood fire, under Givago's expert guidance.
Your Host: Givago Garcia Tissot
Givago is a Brazilian-qualified veterinarian, chef, and Australia's leading open fire BBQ specialist. He was the first Gaucho practitioner to cook at Sydney's Vivid Festival, and has spent decades mastering the art of asado, parrilla, and churrasco.
