"I drink a second mouthful, in which I find nothing more than in the first, then a third, which gives me rather less than the second. It is time to stop; the potion is losing its magic. It is plain that the truth I am seeking lies not in the cup but in myself". Swann's Way, Marcel Proust
School of Taste: Family Days
Taster workshop for the whole family, 9:30-1:30pm
This distinctive series of culinary workshops offers an opportunity to truly immerse the whole family in the sense of taste. These hands-on and engaging sessions connect children to food, their natural surroundings, and one another without pressure or dogma. Our aim is to deepen their relationship with food, enhance their palette skills, and inspire them to become positive agents of change within their lives and communities. Together, we will explore flavour profiles, understand how our preferences are shaped, and gain insights into the formation of our food choices. Participants will enjoy a taste testing workshop and a communal family lunch.
This engaging and playful experience will forever change your perspective on eating.
The Biodiversity of Taste
A culinary programme that explores the diverse taste profiles found in nature.
Join us for a seasonal programme that combines wild & cultivated taste testing, immersive nature walks and exciting dining experiences that challenge us to reconsider not only what and how we eat but also how the act of eating can become a meditative practice. Discover the aromatic characteristics of local flora and listen to the ancient narratives they share. Together, we will smell, forage, and savour both ancient and contemporary flavours, all in a quest to reconnect with nature's rich offerings.
These events include a woodland walk combined with an inspiring talk addressing themes around biodiversity and preservation with a variety of guest speakers (herbalists, ornithologists, wildlife conservationists, chefs, artists and more), followed by a communal fire cooked lunch feast.
Woodland Dining
A multisensory dining experience that immerses guests in the flavours of the wild & cultivated.
From August to October, we invite the public to our woodland table, where we will guide you through a multi-course tasting menu that showcases the culinary creativity of both wild and cultivated plants. This unforgettable, interactive event incorporates a blindfolded taste-testing activity, an open woodland walk and a fire cooked multi-course fine dining experience.
These events sell out fast, so make sure to book as soon as we announce the next Woodland dining date.
