Provence & Beyond Culinary Tour

with Ann & Amanda

Why not join Ann, Amanda and Geoffrey on a fun culinary tour of Provence?   Every summer, usually June and early July, the trio hosts small groups in the South of France where they base themselves in this 18th Century maison for two glorious weeks of food, wine, sunshine, companionship,

It is a big property with two houses joined at the hip leading out to a long terrace overlooking the pool and walled garden.  Many meals are taken terraces or in the walled garden beneath the vine-covered pergola by the pool.

The maison is in the tiny picturesque village of St. Maximin in the middle of orchards and vineyards.  The village has a delightful atmosphere with typical French stone houses, a beautiful church, a town hall, a wonderful little cafe.

St. Maximin is an hour from all of the famous Provence towns and icons.  Uzes, a beautiful medieval town just five minutes away, is home to one of the liveliest and most colourful markets in the South of France.

You’ll explore markets, visit nearby medieval towns, take day trips to Roussillon, Gordes, Les Baux de Provence, Arles, Avignon.

Everything is taken care of for you:  Geoffrey drives the air-conditioned minivan and ensures the wine supplies never run out.  Ann generally ensures your comfort.

Amanda organises visiting chefs, sources local cafes and bistros and gives beginner’s French lessons.

Amanda is fluent in French and legendary in the area.  She has access to people/places you would never normally find.

We party a lot, so be prepared to dance and sing in the evenings.
