Hosting a DIY charcuterie workshop is a fun, hands-on way to bring people together — whether it’s for a bridal shower, birthday, team-building event, or just a creative get-together with friends. Guests get to build their own boards, learn about pairings, and enjoy every bite they create.
All you need is a little prep, some delicious ingredients, and a relaxed vibe to turn any space into a mini cheese-and-meat classroom.
