We began hosting our workshops in 2015, marking our 10th anniversary this year. It’s amazing to think we’ve been doing this for so long, especially since we initially thought it might be a “one-off” experience. We’ve welcomed nearly a thousand wonderful participants, and we take great pleasure in the fact that many of them have returned for a second, third, or even fourth visit. We even have a special club of about a dozen people who have joined us at least five times.

The concept was simple at the start. We had just purchased a large house—some would call it a chateau—that needed a lot of care and renovation. Instead of opening a restaurant, we decided to open our doors for a few days at a time to those who share our passion for food and cooking, seasonal produce, and good wines. We wanted to welcome people who enjoy spending hours preparing feasts and even more time seated at long tables, sharing glorious food and creating lasting memories with like-minded individuals.

Over time we expanded this experience to various locations in Italy, achieving great success and creating lasting memories This year, to keep things fresh and interesting, we hosted our first ever workshops in Hong Kong, where I grew up, and in the Scottish Highlands.
Below is our program for 2025 and 2026, we won’t be adding any more dates this year but we might add one or two things next year if they can fit comfortably into our schedule. We had such incredibly fun and rewarding with our groups in Hong Kong in March and in Scotland earlier this month that these will be repeated with great pleasure next year. As you can see we have already added the dates. The year would not be complete without a Piemonte workshop, that’s where we live and work, we are so proud of our region and have enjoyed sharing it with our guests over the last few years.
That is our third workshop entry for next year.
