La découverte d’un mets nouveau fait plus pour le genre humain que la découverte d’une comète.
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755 – 1826)
An Evening of Indulging in Culinary Traditions
In a Nutshell
The soirée is a mini mini mini version of what we do during the retreats, namely cooking and eating and drinking and being just otherwise very delightful. While the focus during the retreats really is on cooking and learning about the art of hosting, the soirées are much more focused on, well, the eating and drinking part of the game.
Each soirée is tailor made to your wishes and culinary preferences, you may or may not join in the cooking but you definitely will enjoy the experience.
Each soirée consists of a bespoke five-course menu and according wine pairing. The menu will be discussed with you in advance, so I can take into account your preferences, a vegetarian only soirée, for example.
Cooking and dining takes place in our medieval tower kitchen. Depending on the season we will also use the fireplace for cooking or move dinner outside into the garden.
Logistics
We start at 6pm with an apero and will finish around 10.30 in the evening.
Soirées are hosted from two up to ten guests.
Prices start at 100 Euro per person and include cooking sessions, the five-course dinner and wine pairing.
Given the logistics behind each soirée and to ensure I can accommodate for your preferred date, it is advisable to book well in advance.

A Postcard from the Mountains
Recently we went to the mountains to Haute Savoie to pick up some heavy old doors to replace the 19th century pine doors in the tower. They are really lovely pine doors yet given this is a very big tower we started looking around for doors that are more in the spirit of fortresses and…

The Scent of Wild Garlic
A long time ago, during what felt like a huge adventure, living my life in a city. My shoes were always neat and clean and my hair wound into a respectable chignon, no stray strands coming loose. I wore black as if in constant mourning but then it was chic, to wear black (what a…

An Easterly Cake
We have been working hard over the Easter holidays in the upper tower room over what soon will become La Chambre Etoile. If all goes as planned it will be available for booking in late summer. I’m very much looking forward to the decorating bit, for now it was mainly stripping down old paint, restoring…
Of course if you’re coming to Clos de Verniers, most importantly you will not do much except enjoying life to the fullest.
