Indulge in the best wine & Food of France
''LIFE IS STILL LIVED HERE
AS IT HAS BEEN FOR CENTURIES.
HORSES STILL PLOUGH BETWEEN
THE VINES, GOATS ARE STILL HERDED
IN THE HILLS, WOOD SMOKE SPIRALS
FROM STONE CHIMNEYS''
The fantastic Mediterranean weather is not only great for wine, sunflowers, lavenders and olives but a plethora of fresh produce as well as meat and fish, which are integral to Provencal cuisine.
Indeed, in the heart of Provencal dishes lies the interplay of heightened French technique of cooking where the flavors are preserved without any one ingredient being dominant.
There is a wonderful interplay between color & flavor, vegetables and protein and all comes with a hint of spices that are not too overpowering.
Taste Provencal food specialities on your trip to France from St. Tropez to Marseille, from Ratatouille to Tarte Tropézienne, from Bouillabaisse to Chèvre.
Savor the fish, meat & vegetables, bread & grains, charcuterie & cheese in hidden gems and Michelin restaurants and cafés!
Whatever your gourmet taste,
we create various culinary journeys for you -
in a vineyard countryside setting,
0n cobblestones of rural villages
or on the French Riviera!
