Immersive Michelin-Starred Dinners and Picnics Alongside Local Producers and Winegrowers
Join À La Belle Étoile for a deliciously immersive culinary and oenological experience. What to expect? An open-air picnic lunch or a Michelin-starred dinner, at the heart of a region and its heritage. À La Belle Étoile is a nomad table d’hôte, where you can eat, drink and enjoy good company, on a small wine estate, in the gardens of a porcelain factory, or on the leafy terrace of an eco-home. The cuisine is eco-responsible, using the very best local products from farmers’ markets and nearby vineyards. These local producers and winegrowers are also present for the occasion, providing the perfect opportunity for a picnic in nature.
