Cooking classes just landed minutes from Tualatin.
Sur La Table returns to Oregon with a new store and a full Culinary Center teaching kitchen at Bridgeport Village: a soft opening October 14-15, first classes October 21, and a grand opening October 24. A short drive from 22379 SW 107th Ave.
Bridgeport Village has spent 2026 building out its dining and shopping lineup, and the latest arrival is a big one for anyone who loves to cook. Sur La Table, the national kitchenware retailer, returns to Oregon this week with a brand-new store at 7363 SW Bridgeport Rd, and with it comes a Culinary Center cooking school, one of the biggest class programs of its kind in the country. For home cooks near 22379 SW 107th Ave, that means pastry mornings, date-night classes, and chef-led dinners are now about 10 minutes away.
The opening is being staged in three steps. The store soft-opens Wednesday and Thursday, October 14-15; the Culinary Center starts teaching its first classes on Wednesday, October 21; and a full grand-opening celebration lands on Saturday, October 24. Here is what to expect at each phase.
The Store
Cookware, bakeware, and the little tools.
The new Bridgeport Village store carries Sur La Table's full range: professional-grade cookware, bakeware, knives, small appliances, and the odds and ends that make a kitchen work. It also brings services many shoppers will welcome, including knife sharpening, a gift registry, and staff who can answer recipe and equipment questions on the floor. If the chef's kitchen at 22379 SW 107th Ave gets you excited, this is the kind of place where an afternoon disappears.
Bridgeport Village Store Page The Classes
First classes Wednesday, October 21.
The Culinary Center launch is one of the largest cooking-class programs in the country, and the new Tigard kitchen opens with roughly two-hour, chef-led, hands-on sessions capped at about 16 guests, so everyone gets a station and real instruction. The first class on the calendar is Morning Pastries on October 21, and the early schedule also includes the Date Night: Chef's Table series, which pairs a meal and a night out in one ticket.
Class themes rotate through seasonal trends and classic technique, from Thai curries to baking and holiday menus, and skill levels run from first-timers to confident cooks. The location also hosts private events and parties, which makes it a fun answer to the next birthday, team night, or holiday gathering. The full schedule is posted online, and seats book out early in openings like this, so it is worth checking the calendar now if a session catches your eye.
An Evening Out
Pair class with dinner at Bridgeport.
A Sur La Table date or girls' night slots neatly into a Bridgeport Village evening. Brazilian steaks at Fogo de Chão, mochi donuts and popcorn from Mikiko and Miss Hannah's, or a browse through the village's other new tenants round out the trip, and everything is a short drive back to 22379 SW 107th Ave. For more ideas, the date-night guide has the full south metro menu.
Cook More, Eat Well
A new reason to love the south metro.
Great restaurants are one thing, but a teaching kitchen a few minutes from home is the kind of amenity that turns a neighborhood into a lifestyle. Living near Bridgeport Village means the class schedule, the farmers market, and the parks are all in easy reach. Ready to see the kitchen at 22379 SW 107th Ave in person?
