Savor a Culinary Vacation to Remember Our past participants say it best: "Everything was perfect. Daniel was a great teacher. A special experience - would highly recommend it!"
French Cooking Classes offers an unrivaled program of small classes taught by a master chef, excursions to local points of interest and cultural immersion amid beautiful scenery.
This six-day program is led by chef-instructor Daniel Bonnot. Daniel has cooked in some of the world's most famous kitchens, including the Savoy Hotel in London, several top restaurants in Paris and, currently, Bizou in New Orleans. He has received numerous awards and accolades for his culinary mastery.
The program takes place in our beautifully restored 18th century stone Provencal farmhouse. With each session limited to ten participants, you will receive plenty of individual attention during the three to five hours of cooking instruction per day. The program also provides a unique chocolate session, and numerous organized excursions to local points of interest, including a lavender distillery, an olive oil mill, the famous Nyons open-air market, a goat cheese farm and a wine cooperative, as well as some historical sites.
Nestled in the rural hills of Provence where the scent of lavender permeates the air, enjoy breathtaking vistas while learning classic French cooking. Besides cooking and touring the area, we invite you to enjoy an afternoon by our swimming pool or sip a glass of local wine on our terrace as you take in the sights, sounds and tastes of Provence.
5-day cooking vacations featuring hands-on classes & cultural excursions that include wine tasting, visits to goat cheese & duck gavage farms, artisans/craftsmen & open air market.
