Join Chef Jacques Haeringer and treat your mom or your special someone to a lively culinary demonstration and luncheon at L’Auberge Chez François for Mother’s Day on Friday, May 10th, 2024 at 11:00am. Chef will be accompanied by Abbey Fox of Winebow, who has selected a very special Mother’s Day wine pairing for each course, a perhaps, a special giveaway or two!

Start your very special day honoring your mothers by sipping chilled “oh la la” Laurent-Perrier “La Cuvée” Champagne, watching Chef Jacques demonstrate a selection of his very special recipes “on set” that you will surely enjoy.

Continue the Mother’s Day celebration with Chef Jacques’ five-course “Menu du Jour”, paired with fine wines of Winebow chosen by Abbey.

The pièce de résistance: our Papa’s famous French Chocolate Soufflé to round out a celebratory day. This culinary demonstration and experience hits the spot and makes the perfect gourmet culinary gift. Come and join us and celebrate Mom or your someone special this Mother’s Day at L’Auberge Chez François! Why not stroll our on-site vegetable gardens after the demo and lunch to take in nature’s beauty?
