Small Group Cooking Class in Beaune

This morning make your way independently to meet a chef and wine connoisseur in Beaune for a full day of exploring, cooking, and tasting designed to introduce you to the delightful gastronomic culture of the region. Highlights include a two-hour hands-on cooking class in an atelier kitchen, a Crément apéritif (local Champagne) followed by a four-course menu including a Burgundian wine pairing hand-selected.

On Wednesday and Saturdaw, visit to a favorite fromagerie and local artisan butcher or to the Beaune market to gather provisions for lunch.

Everyone will don an apron, standing behind their cutting board as the chef talks through the day’s menu. She will explain and demonstrate the classic French culinary techniques used in each recipe, from sautéing to searing to sauce-making, and then everyone will get to work prepping the ingredients and participating in the hands-on cooking class.

Once the cooking is done, the aprons will come off, and it’s time to taste the traditional dishes that you prepared.

The menu is constantly changing, depending on the season, and is always full of new surprises from favorite artisan food producers and from the chef’s potager.

Suggestion: Explore Beaune

Beaune is Burgundy’s wine capital, but it has a lot more to offer. Don’t miss the wineries, the 12th-century Notre-Dame Basilica, and the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune. The former charitable almshouse was founded in 1443 and is a reference to Burgundian architecture with its enameled tile roofs. Today it is a museum with a rich selection of paintings, tapestries, and furniture.

Beaune has a large Saturday market day with about 150 stalls that fill many streets of the town and a smaller Wednesday market that is mainly fruits and vegetables and a few regional specialties, centered around the Place de la Halle. The Saturday market in Beaune is a colorful food and clothes market. Here, the market is the major event of the week, spreading from the Halles covered market to the pedestrianized area beside Beaune’s prime visitor attraction, the Hospices de Beaune. Picturesque Place de Les Halles is the main center of activity for the Saturday and Wednesday markets.
