Chef on Wheels   

 

Join me on a culinary bike tour through Provence, France this summer. I'll be joined by my husband, writer & photographer Ken Rivard, as well as author and DuVine Tour Guide Thomas Kevill-Davies - The Hungry Cyclist - who has led bike tours all over the world. We'll cycle through fields of sunflowers and asparagus, climb winding roads to farmers markets in medieval villages and stroll through charming rural towns while tastings the region's most famed dishes, samplings revered wines, and enjoying three hands-on cooking classes. The flavors of Provence will be with you forever; you'll bring home all of its most delectable flavors too!

Some highlights of the trip include:     

• 3 cooking demonstrations, one in a private residence
• 5 days of unforgettable scenic cycling (cycling will be moderate, with options for more adventurous riders)
• A visit to an artisanal chocolatier in St. Remy
• Learn to wrap the world-famous Banon cheese in chestnut leaves right in the heart of Banon country
