Learn How to Cook Delicious Meals at Our Cookery

Located in northern Virginia, Glenfiddich Farm Cookery & Gardens is a 175-year-old former dairy farm located near Hamilton, just outside of Leesburg in the beautiful Virginia Piedmont region of Western Loudoun. Originally called Gobblers Knob after the multitude of resident wild turkeys on the farmlands, it was later renamed Glenfiddich – Celtic for Valley of the Deer – to celebrate the many deer that continue to reside on the property.
The Cookery was started in February 2005 by Olwen Woodier, co-owner of the circa 1840s Glenfiddich Farm she shares with ceramic artist and photographer Richard Busch of (glenfiddichfarm.com) Glenfiddich Farm Pottery and rfbphotos.com . Richard makes a wide selection of functional stoneware in his studio at Glenfiddich Farm Pottery, which he sells in his showroom.
The lunch cooking classes are for Special Groups only – business team building, book clubs, etc. and are held throughout most of the year on weekdays. The three-hour classes usually start at 10:30 a.m. and finish around 2:00 p.m. Starting at 11:00 a.m. and finishing at 2:30 p.m. is also an option for those traveling a distance. For groups wishing to discuss books, business, or whatever, there is no requirement for departure earlier than 3:30 p.m.
The four-course meals are created by hands-on participation with some demonstration.
A minimum of eight registrants (max of 12) is necessary for Special Group bookings (weekday lunch classes are $85 per person) – birthdays, bridal showers, garden clubs, book clubs, team building through hands-on cooking workshops, exclusively vegetarian or vegan, etc.
Group classes are popular for book clubs, bachelorette showers, office colleagues, friends, birthdays, corporate team building, and artists -- the 1840s renovated barn and farm gardens are a tapestry of stonework, meadows, and cottage garden plantings. Groups are welcome to choose their own dates, day times (no evenings), and menu themes. We will propose recipes for the menu and work on your requested choices. Mediterranean is a popular theme, which includes cuisines from Spain, France, and Italy, and also Turkey, Israel, Morocco, Portugal, Greece, and other countries in the Middle East.
Also ask about cooking demonstrations that Olwen offers (using a range of electric appliances) for groups in community centers, offices, large home kitchens, etc. $500 per demonstration with tastings. If a complete meal is desired, the price will increase by $30 per person.
