The trip to the Dordogne, February 2014, could not have been more spectacular. We feasted on foie gras, truffles, duck, walnuts and much more EVERY day.
We had 5 cooking classes, one in the Château de Puymartin, and several wine and market visits. We visited Font de Gaume, one of the last prehistoric caves open to the public and had tours of Sarlat and Perigieux. We also went to the ONLY truffle museum in France!!!
Nini the pig found 700g of truffles in one hour. We cooked an all truffle meal and then dined with the chef on the only night the restaurant is closed. For our Gala we ate magnificent poached foie gras!
What are some of the participants saying about this trip? Testimonials.

“The trip to Sorges was great, and the good news is that I not only did not gain weight, but that my cardiologist also prescribed more foie gras.
Paul, San Francisco
“I am making chestnut pasta (which I bought at the Truffle Museum) with wild mushroom sauce tonight. Thought I might use truffle oil and a tad of the truffle!….”

“The Perigord trip was such a grand success and so carefully thought out and/or adjusted to daily needs that I put it VERY high on our list of adventures.”
