A unique and original concept – you meet a winemaker in private at his winery, usually inaccessible to the general public; you taste his wines in his cellars, have lunch with him in his home – a meal carefully prepared by the lady of the house. A first class program for those who would like to make an authentic and enchanting discovery.

We believe that hands-on cooking classes are the best way to learn new skills in the kitchen. Cooking is also a fantastic shared activity , not only will you enjoy a unique cook and dine experience, you’ll also realise that cooking is fun, accessible and appealing!

All classes are guided by expert chefs who have great passion for teaching and sharing their knowledge. They are all experienced professionals and have cooked in some of the very best kitchens around the world. Upon arrival the group will receive an apron and will prepare a full meal – starter, main dish and dessert.

After the cooking class, participants will then become sommeliers. With the help of a professional, they will learn about the main rules of wine and food pairings. They must then choose which wines will best accompany their team’s dish; learn how to serve and how to present the wines.

The day will conclude with a diner surrounding the prepared dishes and selected wines: and of course everyone’s opinion will be heard!
