Castle Wines

🏰🍾🍇

As part of our fabulous cooking vacation at the Chateau de Sanse in the Bordeaux region, you will visit numerous wineries. One example? The Château de La Rivière, a vast wine estate and castle in Fronsac, a French commune about an hour east of Bordeaux city, which gives its name to the Fronsac AOC wine.

We recently had the chance to visit the expansive underground cellars, which lie in some 8 hectares of carved-out rock, and which house some 500,000 bottles!

After the tour we enjoyed a delicious wine tasting, followed by a picnic lunch on the terrace overlooking the Dordogne - sheer perfection!

Join us for the ultimate French chateau cooking vacation and wine tour. We have weeks available in October and a special Thanksgiving week November 23-29. Link in bio!

Oh what fun!

🏰🍷🍊

There is nothing better than cooking in company, unless it is cooking in company at a beautiful chateau in Bordeaux. Three weeks ago, eight strangers, plus TIK’s Peg and the chateau’s wonderful owner Sandra - all became fast friends after the first class and the first glass of Bordeaux. Head to the Bordeaux region this fall for an exclusive and unforgettable culinary experience. Join us this October OR for a one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving week November 23-29!
