A Day in Bordeaux
→ Begin at the atelier, where you meet your chef and fellow guests and shape the day's menu together. Your chef guides you toward dishes based on what you'd like to cook and learn, what's in season, and the regional specialties of Southwest France.
→ Explore the Saint-Michel neighborhood and Marché des Capucins with your chef. Spend about an hour discovering how French markets work — from market etiquette and pricing to choosing quality produce, understanding country of origin, and recognizing the signs of quality you can use when shopping in markets throughout France. Along the way, discover the foods and ingredients that inspire the day's menu.
→ Return to the atelier for an extended hands-on cooking experience, preparing a complete seasonal French meal with your chef. Cook the first course, main course and dessert, often incorporating a classic French sauce and the techniques behind it.
→ Then settle in and take your time around the table. Enjoy the meal you've prepared, with a selection of Bordeaux wines chosen to complement the different courses and give you the opportunity to experience how different wines work with different foods. Between the savory courses and dessert, your chef introduces a selection of regional French cheeses. Settle in, linger over lunch and enjoy the afternoon together.
