NH Cooking Retreats

Come and stay with us, and spend some time relaxing, learning and, of course, indulging in gourmet cuisine. Your three-day NH culinary retreat at the Wakefield Inn awaits. A full and enriching experience, your retreat starts with a welcoming cocktail hour and a learning session where you'll find out all about what the next days hold for you, along with some basic culinary techniques you'll need.

After a good night's sleep in one of the Inn's beautiful rooms, wake up to a delicious breakfast, where you'll receive the day's recipes and learn how to approach them. Then, it's into the kitchen to get started on your NH cooking lessons: get your hands dirty and find out what truly makes a great chef. Local ingredients are always featured in our recipes, and we choose organic ingredients wherever possible.

Your afternoon is then free to enjoy an outing of your choosing - head out to enjoy a few hours in the beautiful White Mountains, the Lakes Region, or the nearby seacoast of Maine. Or spend some time visiting nearby museums, browsing gift and antique shops, and local artisans' milieus. Or, partake of some of the invigorating outdoor sports activities the region has to offer after digging into an included lunch at one of the region's hot spots.

On your final day, you'll complete your NH cooking classes and practice your new skills as you get ready to enjoy a five course meal comprised of the delicacies you've prepared during your NH culinary retreat - complete, of course, with fine wine pairings.
