Asheville French Cooking Weekends

We are in the process of developing several French cooking weekend packages in alliance with the beautiful  Abbingdon Bed & Breakfast, set in the historic Montfort neighborhood of Asheville.

You will arrive in beautiful Asheville on Thursday, late afternoon, and after you have settled down, our small group will gather around a light supper prepared by Ghislaine, private chef and owner of Ma Belle France. After supper, you will enjoy a short presentation on the French regional culinary specialties we will prepare during our cooking classes, and a French wine pairing lesson taught by one of our local wine experts. 

Each morning, after a delightful breakfast, we will start our hands-on French cooking classes. We will then all share our beautifully prepared French meal together. Your afternoons will be open time for you to explore Asheville, visit the extraordinary Biltmore estate, discover the Asheville shops and art galleries, enjoy a hike on one of our many surrounding trails, a scenic drive on the renowned Blue Ridge Highway, or even a Trolley ride around town.

On the second evening, we will reconvene at dinner time for an authentic French dinner at Bouchon, our local French restaurant. The third evening will be open for you to dine in the restaurant of your choice.  Finally, on Sunday morning, after our third cooking class, we will once again gather around the dining table, share our joy and delight in our gourmet meal.  We will all say goodbye when we are done, around 2 pm, in time for your ride to the airport, or en route to your next adventure.

Full details, dates and availability coming soon!
