Whether you want to learn new culinary skills or just enjoy trying new cuisine, this journey through the villages, markets, farms, wineries, cafes and gourmet restaurants will give you the opportunity to expand your cooking skills and enjoy new tastes.  The 6-day all-inclusive* workshop is a chance to explore, be inspired and tickle your tastebuds.

​

​“The itinerary was both gastronomically over-the-top and culturally immersive. Local, renowned chefs worked with us in the chateau's large, modern kitchen and in restaurant kitchens, as well. We even shopped at the Rodez Farmers Market with a chef before joining him in his kitchen for a class and lunch from our creation.”  — Catherine — May 2024 workshop​ participant

 

​During the cooking sessions you will make every dish from scratch.  You will be working side-by side with local chefs and the host, preparing pastries and desserts, making sauces, vegetables and sides, and finally, cooking and plating every single one of your creations.​

​

And you won't be stuck in a kitchen! You will get a real taste of life in France as we take you to local villages, meet the producers, visit the farms, taste the products and immerse yourself in southwest France!  If the harvest allows, you will cook using our homegrown organic fruit and vegetables and pick herbs from among the plants we grow. You will get a glimpse of this beautiful region and make the best of the local seasonal produce.
