Miele Masterclasses

During the year, we organize 8 Miele masterclasses where we host one chef from a JRE restaurant, 1 small producer and 1 winemaker.

The goal of the masterclasses is to present to the participants original, local food in a demonstration where the chef works from the preparation to plating. Local winemakers present the terroir where they come from, and it's up to you to sign up for a raffle because you might just win tickets to one of the Miele masterclasses.
