Sausage Making Class

Learn how to make sausage in this San Francisco workshop!



2 hours Location Mission District Class size 1 to 2 guests   $180 - $195 (Earlybird price of $180 applies if you book into a public session 14+ days ahead)

Take your dinners to the next level and impress your friends with delicious sausage recipes by learning to make your own in this sausage making class in San Francisco! Join Richard for this comprehensive and fully hands-on class making fresh sausage from scratch.
You will work with electric grinders, vertical sausage stuffers and natural hog casings to create our favorite Italian sausage. You will be able to use this sausage recipe for pizza toppings, cased sausages and patties. The techniques you learn in class can be used to create sausage using any protein of your choosing. You will even get to try our favorite breakfast sausage recipe.
In this class, your instructor will cover the science of sausage making and will take you through the fundamental guidelines to follow. You'll learn the options on what equipment you need to make sausages, what you will want to buy and what you absolutely don't need, but will want to buy anyway. Because who wouldn't want a 316L stainless steel tabletop grinder capable of grinding eight pounds or raw meat per minute?
Take your finished sausages home with you to enjoy in your favorite home-cooked meals. If you're looking to learn a new cooking skill or want to try out a fun new recipe for your next date night idea or even birthday party, this hands-on class makes for a unique learning experience!
All materials supplied. This class is limited to only two students and is fully hands-on. Please note, all classes are for adults (18+) only.

Recent reviews of Sausage Making Class

  • 5/5 from Clarina Kennedy, attended Aug 2026: It is an excellent class. He motivated me and encouraged me to begin sausage making. He was very clear and easy to understand. Making sausages is a lot easier than you think. However, pay attention to the required equipment- very important! Great class. I highly recommend it!
  • 5/5 from Tasha Retherford, attended Feb 2026: My husband and I took the sausage making class from Richard! He’s an incredible teacher. Besides walking us through the process and making sure to give us the tips and tricks, he’s very patient, personable and has a great sense of humor to keep everything light. He takes time to explain each step of the process, demonstrates, and then gives each student the opportunity to try. The sausage making was super fun and we are looking forward to putting our new learned skills to use—Richard made sure we felt confident to try on our own. We would HIGHLY recommend any class from Richard. Can’t wait to find another opportunity to take another class.
  • 5/5 from Paul Ward-Dolkas, attended Jan 2026: Great private class for my wife and myself - learned a lot. Sausage making is something you can't learn exclusivly from a book - there's lots of stuff you just need to try and practice. So having somebody like Richard who could answer all our questions was great.
