The cookery school, is located at the back of the house in the old wine chai with the old wine pressoir still instact. It is a light, airy and large space to work. Places will be limited to between 6 and 8 students to ensure everyone gets as much attention as possible. The morning cooking sessions will be a mixture of ‘Masterclass’ demonstrations and lots of hands on cooking. Classes will be held in a relaxed and friendly environment with lots of time for questions and for learning. We will also provide a welcome meal on the day of arrival. Other evening meals will be available if required. (see Dinner Rates for guest house).


On some days we will be creating dishes suitable for lunch, meze style and at the end of each session what else is there to do but sit down with a glass of wine and eat our creations. On other days we will be developing dinner menus with starters, mains and desserts. We will learn how things are done in top restaurants and learn how to transfer these techniques to the home. In these sessions we will prepare the food for our evening meal and for those who want to there will be an evening session aimed at teaching presentation skills as the food is finished off before serving.


Partners not wishing to participate in the cookery lessons can relax in the garden, take in the beautiful countryside or visit the many places of interest close by and, of course, join us for the food!
