Culinary Adventures in France

Imagine waking up in a Provencal villa, surrounded by vineyards; or in a boutique Paris hotel, steps away from a market street.

Imagine days filled with discovery – cooking, shopping the markets, wine tasting, and dining al fresco.
Our culinary tours are sparked by our passion for the food of France – its origins, its producers, and its traditions.
We’ve Been There. We’ve Done That.

We’ve explored the markets, the wineries, the villages; sought out the best cooking classes, cheese makers and bakers. And what we've learned from a dozen years of eating and drinking our way through France is that the French are still very passionate about their food, how it is made, the traditions and the quality. 

Now we share our love of the country, its cuisine, and its people, to create an authentic culinary experience for you.

Unpack and Relax

We’ve done all the work. You’ll be met when you arrive in Paris (at the airport) or in Provence (at the architecturally stunning high-speed train station in Avignon). All you have to do is unpack and enjoy a week of culinary adventuring.

We like to dig deep into French life, shop where the locals shop, discover little-known épiceries and bistros, and learn the secrets of French cooking hands-on.

What to Expect

You’ll be actively involved in cooking classes, wine tastings, and behind-the -scenes visits to chocolate makers, lavender farms, and traditional olive oil mills.

We are a small group, so it’s always intimate and personal. The focus is on food, wine and fun, but they’ll also be plenty of free time just to relax at the villa or your apartment, take a walk, shop or explore the sights.

Our standards are high – if it’s not something that we have experienced and loved, it’s not part of the itinerary.
