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 in Arthurs Seat 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 (also recently introduced is 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.
