Ever wondered what goes into making a great hot sauce? Join Butterfly Bakery of Vermont founder Claire Georges for a hands-on exploration of the art, science, and flavor of hot sauce making. Learn how to choose and balance flavors, work with peppers, safely bottle hot sauce for gifting or sale, and create delicious sauces of your own to take home. Whether you're a backyard gardener with more peppers than you know what to do with, a hot sauce enthusiast, or simply curious about food production, you'll leave with practical knowledge, insider tips, and a deeper appreciation for the craft behind every bottle.
This class is part of Butterfly Bakery of Vermont’s 2026 Pepper Patron campaign. Once a year, BBVT buys peppers for the year directly from small farms across Vermont and beyond. Through the Pepper Patron campaign, supporters help make that harvest possible while getting closer to the farms, the peppers, and the story behind every bottle.
Cost: $150 per person
