Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons
Michelin-star cuisine and magnificent English countryside lie at the cornerstones of Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. The brainchild of celebrated Chef Raymond Blanc, this 32-room manor house in bucolic Oxfordshire has been a gastronomic destination for its guests for 35 years. The grounds include a two-acre garden that provides vegetables and herbs for the heralded restaurant and The Raymond Blanc Cookery School and Gardening School. Take a half-day class or in-depth course; you can even join the kitchen team for a day. A walk through the organic garden, clay shooting and other pursuits are also easily arranged.
