This was a great event if you love waffles and beer. We were able to enjoy not only some local beers but also add our favorite into the waffle mix. Additionally, we were able to bring our infant with us. I had her sleeping in the carrier on my chest while we baked. It was a lot of fun.

Very interesting, we had a 4:30 time slot which is last admission. We arrived about 10 min early. Would recommend more time if you are a beer enthusiast. Tasting was great.

Very satisfied with this activity, the instructor was great! It was a real pleasure, I recommend!

Great fun, amazing host and really enjoyable. The Waffles and beer were very tasty.

Beautiful, and at a very reasonable price.

Bravo, original visit, pleasant and complete,... At your own pace...
