The Chopping Block has been bringing people together over food and wine for over 24 years. Now, we're doing it online with our virtual private cooking event programming. Our proven successful events are boosting company employee morale and/or personal loved ones' joy, as people are now able to gather together over food and wine virtually.
These virtual experiences are designed for guests interested in planning a cooking activity privately for their family, friends, colleagues and or clients, near or far and all together! Our team will work directly with you to create a fun, engaging and educational experience.
Choose from five different types of virtual private event experiences:
These private virtual Cook Along events will engage guests in a fun cooking activity as you cook together in real time with your very own private chef guiding you and providing feedback on what's happening in your kitchen along the way. You'll enjoy interacting and cooking together with your guests near and far.
These virtual experiences will educate you and your guests with entertaining and delicious global recipes paired with fun cocktails. In these events, guests can choose their level of engagement to do as much or as little cooking and mixing as they like.
These private virtual "Mix-A-Longs" events will educate and engage you and your guests while having fun mixing along delicious cocktails in real time with your very own private mixologist guiding you along the way.
These private virtual wine tasting events will provide your very own private sommelier to educate you and your guests with fun, entertaining and insightful wine knowledge. Taste and cheers with each other, near or far.

"Hosting an event for 110 virtual staff can get complicated, but The Chopping Block made our virtual event so easy. Planning the event was seamless and Sara, our instructor, was fantastic. Our cookinar was so helpful as we all learned cooking tips and tricks, and the recipes were easy to follow. I've heard nothing by high praises from our staff members. We would definitely look into another event at The Chopping Block!"
-Emily Petraglia, American College of Chest Physicians
"The event was above and beyond our expectations as Chef Sara was a very engaging instructor and we received great feedback from our guests. While we certainly hope to physically back in their kitchen next year, the virtual iteration provided a great opportunity for people to join us who normally wouldn't and to host the event at a lower cost at a time where we need to be more financially conscious."
-Elena Dennis, Chicago Bar Foundation"A huge thank you to The Chopping Block for such a fun virtual demo event. It was a great way to bring our community together at a time when we can feel so far apart."
-Sarah Willis, University of Chicago"The Chopping Block offered a unique, engaging virtual fundraising experience for our donors and stakeholders during our second largest fundraising month of the year—Pride. TCB has been a long-standing collaborative partner with our culinary work placement program, which made the event more enticing for our audience. Our greatest concern was the technology to orchestrate multiple speakers, but TCB executed the event seamlessly. Oh, and we planned the event in under two weeks! Shelley, Mindy and the entire TCB staff was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process—especially with theming the featured course menu and instruction. We surpassed our fundraising goal thanks to this virtual event, and we’re grateful for the talents of staff, efficient planning, and patience from everyone at TCB."
-Rhett Lindsay, Center on Halsted
