Love Southern Seasons I have loved, and, shopped at Southern Seasons since 1975. The atmosphere was very HAPPY; a delicious surprise on every shelf. I regularly bought wine at Southern Seasons because the Somlier was a huge help with the impressive selection. I have always been pleased with my orders, and, so have the recipients❤️ Now, I have lived in Colorado for many years & nothing compares!!!

Fun and Informative I loved attending this cooking class. Sherri Castle was a load of fun and provided tips that were valuable to both beginner cooks and more experienced ones. Cooking is my favorite hobby and I was worried that I wouldn't really learn anything new at the class, but I was wrong! The food was tasty, too.

Fish Cooking School The class was filled with folks learning about cooking some very special recipes from the NC coast. The teacher was a long time chef with stories and special tips on making his recipes. He has owned his restaurant for a long time. Everyone seemed to have a very good time as we ate the really delicious food. I highly recommend Southern Season cooking classes.

Need more advanced or unique hands-on classes. I have found the last two hands on classes wasteful of time. I will only attend non hands on from now on unless targeted for more advanced cooks. A long lesson in cutting onions, for instance, wasn't a good use of time for someone like me who has attended dozens of culinary classes. Could you offer hands on for more experienced home cooks?

Gift basket ordering I have been a long-time customer of Southern Season (since they were in Eastgate) but we moved away from NC 5 years ago due to a job relocation. I like to give Southern Season baskets for special occasions and in the past they had a great selection. For this most recent purchase the basket I wanted to send was out of stock, but I ordered it anyway since there was no rush to have it sent immediately. Customer service called and notified me that the item was out of stock and could not state when it would be available again. Therefore, I replaced the gift basket with another one at a similar price. I also had trouble with the website with my initial purchase, since NO e-mail confirmation was sent. Only after talking to Customer Service, did I receive an e-mail. I also am a Premier card holder and my discount and free shipping was not applied to this order. Overall, the gift basket selection online is limited and using the Premier card online does not work. For the future, I will stick with just purchasing items at the store when I am back in Chapel Hill (once a year). I love Southern Season, but since online purchasing is less satisfactory it makes sense to do only in-store purchases.
