Pamper your inner foodie!
No longer is it necessary to travel to France or Italy for the gourmet experience of your life. Modelled on the live-in participatory cooking schools made so famous in Europe, Georges gourmet cooking retreat on the Mornington Peninsula has been designed to complement Australia's maturing palate.
Each gourmet retreat will offer a different theme and every participant will gain a valuable insight into cooking skills, techniques and ingredients in a relaxed and entertaining manner.

The gourmet retreats run over three days and two fun filled nights (we have now introduced a streamlined two day and one night version for the time poor). As well as introducing one of Australia's most exciting new chefs, Duncan White-Robertson, the retreats bring together the iconic features of the Mornington Peninsula. Such features include;
- local producer tours including the famous Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm and Red Hill Cheese
- wine matching by Mornington Peninsula's leading sommeliers at the evening dinners
- wine tasting tour
- a private outdoor naturally heated mineral spa at the Peninsula Hot Springs
- marine activities (perhaps a swim with the dolphins or a champagne sail)
Whether you are a beginner to the culinary appreciation journey or a food and wine connoisseur a Georges gourmet cooking retreat is sure to amaze you.
