The clack of bamboo mats, the cool smell of seasoned rice and the low murmur of a wine bar set the scene as Chef Dylan guides a small group through two hours of focused, hands-on sushi work.
Set inside Grinder's Switch Winery at Marathon Village, the class moves from precise rice seasoning to confident knife work and finally to the satisfying snap of a well-rolled maki. Participants make a classic California roll (avocado, cucumber, surimi) and a bright veggie roll with mango — each stage paired with wine suggestions that highlight sweetness, acidity, and texture.
Marathon Village itself began as Marathon Motor Works, an early-20th-century auto plant; today its brick warehouses house food and craft businesses that reflect Nashville’s industrial-to-creative evolution. The winery’s name nods to Tennessee rail lore and rural culture, giving the evening a local flavor beyond the menu.
Expect a compact, sociable layout: stations with mats, rice, nori and a small set of tools. The chef demonstrates rice-to-nori ratios, rolling pressure and clean slicing, then watches each participant practice. The class accommodates dietary needs with advance notice and requires ID for wine service.
Practical notes — wear comfortable clothes you won’t mind a little rice on, arrive 10 minutes early to check in, and bring a phone for photos but leave large bags at home; public transit and limited parking serve Marathon Village. Whether you’re after a memorable date night or basic culinary technique, this session delivers skills you can replicate at home and a clear sense of how wine can reframe sushi flavors.
