Beginning this fall, luxury hotel and restaurant association Relais & Châteaux will launch a new annual celebration of fine dining, ‘Fête de la gastronomie’ (Culinary Feast), reports Tour Mag.
The festivities will begin on the first day of fall each year, and this year, the French culinary festival will make its debut on September 23.
The hotel and restaurant association has designed a number of special events to help guests truly appreciate French gourmet dining.
Participating hotels will open their kitchens to the public, sharing the secrets of great French cuisine. Restaurant recipes will be collected and posted online through the official website.
Another highlight includes meeting with the restaurants’ sommeliers, where guests can join small wine-tasting groups to sample a dozen of the finest wines.
For those who might not be able to afford fine dining, the event includes a prix fixe menu where members of the public can enjoy the gourmet fare at a special reduced rate.
