8 Day Cooking Holiday with Yoga and Travel Adventure in Provence, France

In Provence, wellness is just as likely to be found around the table as it is on the yoga mat. Hosted by culinary expert Tasha Powell, this intimate seven-night journey brings together the flavors, landscapes, and leisurely rhythm of southern France through cooking, wine, movement, and shared experiences. Two hands-on cooking workshops invite you into the kitchen, while visits to local markets and tastings of regional wine, olive oil, and cheese offer a delicious introduction to Provençal food culture. A day at Château La Coste adds another layer to the experience, combining wine with the distinctive art, architecture, and countryside of the region. Between culinary discoveries, yoga and sound bath sessions create quieter moments, while walking, hiking, and swimming encourage you to experience Provence beyond the dining table. With approximately four hours of planned activity each day, there is a comfortable balance between doing and simply enjoying where you are. Daily meals become part of the pleasure, bringing together a small group of no more than 12 travelers who share an appreciation for food, wine, culture, and travel. Cooking experience isn’t required—the workshops welcome everyone from enthusiastic beginners to confident home cooks. This isn’t a retreat about restriction. It’s a celebration of a different kind of well-being: moving your body, savoring beautiful food, discovering local traditions, sharing the table, and allowing yourself to enjoy it all. **Best suited for:** Food and wine lovers, solo travelers, couples, culturally curious wellness seekers, and small-group travelers who want to experience Provence through cooking, regional flavors, yoga, gentle adventure, and the pleasure of gathering around the table.
