Excursion Cooking class at st emilion château ambe tour pourret tour at Bordeaux

Taste and learn how to make regional Bordeaux dishes on this exclusive tour and cooking class (space limited so we recommend early booking). Your class is hosted by the chef at the Château Ambe Tour Pourret in St. Emilion vineyards, where you have the rare opportunity to learn all the details about food preparation that turn cooks into chefs.

Depart the pier and drive one hour to the St. Emilion vineyards. Upon arrival at the chateau enjoy a visit of the cellars, followed by a wine tasting, as well as views of the superb construction of the space with its tower, and the grand courtyard centered around the hundred-year-old chestnut tree and a small vineyard, a door into the sweet life at the entrance of the beautiful village of Saint-Emilion.

Continue to the kitchen where, under the Chef's guidance, you get to have an incredibly unique experience in Saint-Emilion, concocting and tasting regional dishes in accordance with the château's wines. This workshop is limited to 12 people, each with their own cooking surface and preparation space for a truly intimate and hands-on opportunity.

Your course is focused on creating a menu highlighting produce and products that are in season, including preparing a starter and main course, or a main course and a desert. After your two-hour lesson, savor what you prepared over lunch, accompanied by three wines from the estate in a lesson about wine pairing. The lunch is set in the reception room or outdoors in the shady courtyard, a beautiful chance to enjoy the fruits of your labors in either place.

As your meal concludes make your goodbyes to your teacher and guides and make the return drive back to the ship.
