Join an acclaimed local chef at a working estate for a private market visit, garden harvest, and hands-on cooking class culminating in a long, festive lunch. The island's soul, served on a plate.
What to expect
Begin at the estate's herb and spice garden, selecting the day's ingredients while the chef explains Creole culinary heritage. Move to an open-air kitchen to prepare three courses using traditional techniques and local produce. Sit down to eat what you've made, paired with local rum cocktails and fresh fruit sorbet. Recipes and a spice bundle go home with you as a memento.
Good to know
Class runs approx. 3.5 hrs including the meal. Dietary restrictions accommodated with advance notice. Private transport from port included. Book at least 2 weeks ahead — estate dates fill quickly. A mid-morning class fits most port schedules with comfortable buffer time.
