Make Vanilla Extract!
What You’ll Learn:
This workshop will include a fascinating educational component where we’ll explore:
The history of vanilla and the various types of vanilla beans
The best types of alcohol to use (and why!)
How to customize the strength of your extract
A secret method experienced makers swear by!
A bonus recipe from one of our members.
How Many Vanilla Beans?
Vanilla beans can be pricey (typically $13 for just 2 beans at local stores). For this project, you’ll need at least 6 beans per 8oz of alcohol, so we’ll purchase beans in bulk to provide the best possible value.
Ticket Options:
Included in each price is 4 - 2oz glass bottles to bottle your vanilla in later for gifts.
8-12oz jar: $45 (good value)
16-24oz jar: $58 (better value)
32-40oz jar: $74 (best value)
We will be using jars that are slightly larger in order to account for bean displacement so that you can yield the greatest amount of extract.
Aging Your Vanilla Extract:
Vanilla extract requires at least six months (preferably a year) to develop its full flavor.
Workshop Details:
Class Size: Limited to under 10 participants for an intimate, hands-on experience
Refreshments: Light refreshments provided
What to Bring: Your own 35%-40% ABV (70-80 proof) alcohol
Suggestions: Vodka, white rum, or gold rum (no need for anything expensive!)
Forgot your alcohol? No problem—there are liquor stores nearby.
Mark Your Calendar:
For holiday gifting, you will want to rebottle your extract into 2oz or 4oz bottles. So, we will meet again in November 2026 to bottle your vanilla for gifts and perhaps create a new batch for the future! Or you can paint your mini bottles at this event. Tickets for bottles and beans will be sold at that time.
Tickets & Policies:
When you purchase a ticket, you'll be added to our mailing list to receive updates on future painting events (sent 1-2 times a month). You can unsubscribe anytime.
All tickets must be purchased by January 10th in order to have all the materials here on time.
Please Note: All sales are final. No refunds. If you can't make it, you will be able to pick up your vanilla beans and jar from me at a designated time and place.
Don’t miss out. Get your tickets today. Great for gifts!
