Eat Move Sleep Retreat invites you to embark to savour the journey of culinary luxury, wellness, and excellence with our exclusive day retreat in the heart of Oxfordshire at the beautiful 5-star Belmond hotel Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.
Join us this September for an extraordinary day that promises to awaken all your senses. The retreats include seed sowing and mindfulness with August Bernstein, a cooking demo, a perfectly delectable 6-course meal wine pairing at their 2 Michelin start restaurant, seasonal cocktails and delicious treats throughout the course of the retreat.
About Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons
Created by celebrated chef Raymond Blanc OBE, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons is one of the country's most cherished manor house hotels. They have received two Michelin stars in 1984, the first year of their opening, and, remarkably, have held them ever since.
Surrounded by lawns, flower borders and orchards, the setting is postcard-perfect. But beyond the eye-catching displays are vegetable and herb gardens that provide the kitchen—and the acclaimed Raymond Blanc Cookery School—with ultra-fresh, organic produce. They guarantee the restaurant remains at the cutting edge of culinary excellence.
From the mushroom valley and orchards to the serene English water garden, a stroll through the verdant grounds is sure to be one of many highlights of this retreat.
