What to expect

You'll start by strolling through the medieval village, stopping at market stalls where farmers will share details about how they grow or produce their goods. Chef Sandri will explain how local kitchens have traditionally used these ingredients, offering practical tips on preparation and flavour pairing. The conversation naturally flows into broader themes around seasonal eating and land stewardship. In the final hour, you'll settle into either the castle rock viewpoint or a farmhouse garden with a glass of wine, a selection of local cold cuts, and cheeses to round out the experience.
