Full Cooking Nostalgia


There is Nothing More Appropriate
than Good Food and Good Wine,
the Alchemy of the Saucepan


Bespoke culinary retreats, good food and good wine, according company, stories told and memories made, living, after all, L’Art de Bien Manger.

Cost:

1200 EUR per person. This is an all inclusive fee and includes pretty much everything (we hope) you need to have a wonderful time here. The pantry will be bursting with delicious treats and Monsieur sure has a very beautiful and well stocked wine cellar. More specifically, the participation fee includes three nights accommodation in one of our tower rooms, all aperos, three dinners, two lunches and three French breakfasts, plenty of wine and all that goes along with. Participation fee does not include any fares to/from the venue on arrival/departure day. Upon your request we are happy to organise a driver who will get you at your own expense from the nearest airport or train station. 

Location:

The retreats are held at our private house in 70360 Chemilly in the Haute Saône departement, a medieval fortress turned chic farmhouse with a rich and spicy history at the banks of the river Saône. The chateau is an exciting restoration project which makes it a unique setting for discovering and living history. The chateau comes with a tower over a thousand years old, this is where we cook up our famous French dinners and rustic lunches. 

Book:

Please send me your contact details and the retreat you’d like to attend (see full description below) and I will get back to you as fast as possible.

Note: Given the heavy organisation and preparation and in order to avoid frivolous bookings, participation fees are non-refundable.
