Monet’s Afternoon Tea, a Taste of Giverny
April 12 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Last summer, Paul and I had the opportunity to explore Monet’s Home and his exquisite gardens in Giverny, France. As passionate gardeners, this destination had been on our bucket list for many years. Claude Monet was not only an artistic genius but also a true food enthusiast. His culinary journals are filled with detailed recipes and reflections on his meals and the company he shared them with. This Monet’s Afternoon Tea features dishes that were enjoyed in his iconic yellow dining room or served outdoors in the garden. I hope this experience brings you as close as possible to dining at Monet’s table!
