Book a Private Spice Blend Class!

A private spice blending class with Spicewalla's Culinary Director, Alyse Baca, is the kind of experience that brings people together over something real ❤️ No lectures, no PowerPoints. Just your group, a table full of spices, and Alyse walking you through the art of building flavour from scratch.

You'll smell, taste, and experiment your way to a signature blend that's completely your own!

Alyse makes it accessible for everyone, whether you cook every night or can barely boil water. She breaks down how individual spices work, how they layer together, and how a little knowledge goes a long way in the kitchen. By the end, everyone leaves with something they made themselves and actually want to use.

Every class includes:

  • A guided introduction to spice pairing and flavour building with Alyse
  • Hands-on blending time with access to Spicewalla's full spice library
  • Your own custom blends to take home, packaged in a Spicewalla tin
  • Room to explore freely or lean on Alyse's expertise, whatever feels right for your group

Alyse Baca has been obsessed with flavour her whole career. She trained as a fine dining pastry chef, earned her culinary degree in Asheville, worked in professional kitchens, and joined Spicewalla in 2019.

Flavour has always been her love language.

Six years later, she's the Culinary Director behind every one of our 300+ blends. She develops the flavour profiles, writes the recipes, and is the reason your food tastes better when you cook with Spicewalla!

In a private class, you get all of that knowledge in one room. Just you, your people, and someone who genuinely loves teaching this stuff.
