PAST EXPERIENCES

FALL 2026

Southwest France

For those who have ever dreamed of perfecting French cuisine and pastry where it was born, under the mentorship of a pastry world champion, at his farmhouse in Southwestern France … This was an opportunity to learn from a master while enjoying the simple pleasures of French countryside life.  Participants enjoyed breathtaking landscapes and the simple pleasures that make this region so special.  

Hosted in Chef Jacquy’s private 200-year-old farmhouse, this intimate experience welcomed food enthusiasts and devoted Francophiles. More than a demonstration, it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for true immersion and hands-on mastery.

With more than 25 workshop recipes from The Art of French Pastry and The Art of French Tarts, guests developed a diverse range of culinary skills and techniques, including breakfast pastries, quiches, chocolate and fruit desserts, savory brioche galettes, and more.
