We invite world-renowned chefs as well as brilliant new talent to join us at Closerie les Capucines, Neal’s beautiful 17th-century maison d’hôtes nestled in the bustling wine village of Arbois.

Our 3-day immersions are comprised of cooking classes, meals with vignerons, comprehensive wine tastings, and a visits artisan food producers.

Each scheduled weekend, intimate groups of no more than 12 guests will dive into the Jura and its culinary history, with a talented chef at their side. Chefs are selected from a variety of global traditions, chosen for their reputation of excellence and creativity.

Ample time for hiking, exploration of the region, and perhaps a lounge by the pool is baked into your itinerary.

After a day of inspiration and exploration, you’ll retire to one of five perfectly appointed rooms.
