Program Agenda

Meet & Greet

Upon Arrival to the Chateau and once you’ve had a moment to settle in and freshen up, we will have an afternoon soiree to get to know each other before our first group dinner.

Charcuterie board with cheeses, meats, figs, grapes, nuts, pickles, and wine glasses with red and white wine.

Gather Materials

The following morning, we will take stock of what material needs you may have and you'll have the ability to venture into the nearby towns that are best equipped.

Explore & Join In

From this point, most of your time is up to you. However, we do have planned outings and gatherings during the 2 weeks of the Residency!
