Private Cooking Class

Bordeaux Cooking Class

Spend a few hours cooking with a local chef and discovering the heart of French cuisine. Fresh ingredients, good wine, and plenty of laughs guaranteed. Whether you’d prefer an immersive culinary experience in Bordeaux’s city center or a countryside setting in Saint-Émilion, both options promise great food and authentic fun.

In Bordeaux, your class begins with a stroll through the lively Saint-Michel neighborhood and a visit to the Marché des Capucins, one of the city’s most beloved markets. Together with your chef, you’ll select seasonal ingredients before heading to the kitchen for a hands-on cooking lesson. The morning ends with a five-course bistro-style lunch paired with local wines, a true taste of Bordeaux life.

In Saint-Émilion, your cooking class takes place in the kitchens of a luxury historic Château. You’ll step into the role of chef for the day, preparing a full entrée, main course, and dessert using local, seasonal products. After the class, enjoy your meal with wine pairings from the estate, including a Grand Cru Saint-Émilion. It’s a relaxed and memorable way to connect with Bordeaux’s culture, one delicious bite at a time.
