Retreats & Weekends

Ritchie Stainsby offers tailor-made culinary retreats and weekend experiences designed to bring people together through food, creativity, and connection. Each retreat is thoughtfully curated to include hands-on cooking classes, candle-lit dinners, and tasting menus that celebrate local, seasonal, and plant-based ingredients.

​

Whether hosted in the UK or abroad, every experience is crafted around your vision — from relaxed, home-style cooking weekends to immersive, fine-dining getaways. Ritchie works closely with hosts and venues to create unforgettable culinary moments that blend learning, flavour, and inspiration.

​

Following the success of his Culinary Weekend in the South of France with La Cour de Husson in June 2025, Ritchie will return in 2026 for two exclusive events — each offering a unique food and drink experience.

​

Join us for one of our exclusive gastronomic experiences in the heart of Southwest France, our Culinary Weekends, hosted by MasterChef: The Professionals finalist Ritchie Stainsby. After the success of our Culinary Weekend with Ritchie in June 2025, we’re coming back again in 2026 bigger and better! We’re hosting two separate events over eight days — one with a pizza-making masterclass and cognac tour & tasting, and the other with an open-fire cooking masterclass and gin tour & tasting. The choice is yours — or book both for the ultimate gastronomic extravaganza!

​

If you’re interested in hosting or collaborating on a retreat or weekend event, Ritchie would love to work with you to create a bespoke culinary experience tailored to your guests, location, and theme.
