Led by an expert baker, the workshop offers an immersive look at time-honored techniques while exploring the aromas, textures, and craft behind classic French breads.

Guided instruction highlights each stage of the process, from mixing and kneading to shaping and baking, creating an engaging atmosphere that celebrates both skill and creativity. Seasonal ingredients and fresh produce from the garden enhance the session, culminating in a homemade lunch featuring dishes prepared during the workshop.
