A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine.

One of the most important rules in France when invited to a dinner party is never arrive early! Arrive fashionably late - that is the cultural norm. They even have a term dedicated to this “le quart d’heure de politesse” – the quarter hour of politeness. The French enjoy food and having dinner is an experience in itself and can last for hours so it’s important to do a little planning so you can enjoy the party with your guests. Learn how to prepare and plan for a summertime feast that will be sure to impress your friends and family!
