Let our private chef tantalize your senses during your food and wine tour in France!
OUR
PRIVATE CHEF

Let our private chef tantalize your senses during your food and wine tour in France! Our innovative menu infuses the simplicity of classic French cuisine with a modern twist and fresh ingredients. Our chef has created a menu that uses ingredients sourced from the Dijon Market, Grand Fresh Market, and local French bakeries, which is a good indication of the thought put into our gourmet meals. This emphasis on fresh and local ingredients imparts bold flavors into our dishes.

Expect to find an excellent selection of meat from New Zealand lamb to Charolaise beef (the ultimate item on our fine-dining menu), making it the most tantalizing river food and wine cruise in France. Our dishes include scallops, salmon, and sea bass in addition to other tempting delights. Meals are paired with a selection from our extensive fine French wine list, boasting an inventory of Premier Cru Burgundy wine. The food has to be outstanding to compete with the wine! Vegan and gluten-free options are available as well. Our chef takes time to teach tricks of the trade with food demonstrations in our kitchen. Join him with a glass of wine and sample the arts of his craft.

I’m so glad she talked me into keeping the schedule of meals on the barge because the food was excellent! The quality of the food, the presentation and the menus were wonderful. The table settings were even beautiful and varied every day. We also had high expectations about the quality and selection of wine pairings on board, and again, Edward and Cindy exceeded our expectations.
