  • Line up your kit’s tasting cups to sample each syrup variety for mouthfeel, aroma, and flavor, as you share feedback and comments with Cory and your fellow tasters.
  • Get suggestions on how to use different types of maple syrup in baking, cooking, cocktails, and more.

About

Cory Krieg's first experience with maple syrup was tapping trees with his dad. In his early twenties, he began sugaring with older farmers until he gained the skills to go out on his own, but it took a bout with leukemia (and the advice of his wife Liz) to convince him that making maple syrup should be more than a hobby. Today, Cory crafts his syrups over wood fires in a traditional sugarhouse and has founded a collective to help small farmers throughout Vermont sustain and grow their business.

For this class, you'll need the included Vermont Maple Syrup Tasting Kit, a drinking glass or mug, and a serving spoon in addition to the ingredients listed in the link below!

Fun & Sweet Learning

This was a fabulous Christmas present my husband gifted me for us to spend quality time together away from the kids. We learned so much and appreciated the quality products and presentation from Cory. I have a new found appreciation the small farmers and the maple industry overall. Highly recommend for something out of the box if you're looking for a sweet one!

This was so fun!

It was such a fun experience to learn more about maple syrup and the different ways it is graded and made. Cory was an awesome person to learn from, and the syrup was delicious. I always thought I didn't like "real" maple syrup but it turns out I just needed a lighter grade! 10/10 recommend.

We are not typically sweets people but love learning and trying new things. This class gave us a completely new view on maple syrup. All the complexities that make the variety of final flavors were amazing. It is just as complex as wine making. We learned we were trying the wrong syrup! My new breakfast is plain Greek yogurt with a drizzle of Maple Flower Farm's golden and delicate syrup. Cory was warm, friendly, and educational. I highly recommend this class to expand your knowledge and taste buds.

Interesting class

#sweepstakes It was interesting, but it could have been a little more informative. There have probably been enough classes so that the host could have explained the syrup making process and history without the need for student questions. The question below is "who did you purchase this for?" i was the recipient of the gift, not the purchaser.

who knew?

Tasting maple syrup in much the same way one tastes a flight of wine reveals that there are subtle and sometimes dramatic differences from one syrup to another.
