Celebrate bread with La Motte’s Milling & Baking Experience

February 20, 2026 By Tania Griffin 0

La Motte celebrates bread in all its traditional and original beauty and invites you to join in for a very special and intimate Milling & Baking Experience.

Join us in the La Motte Bakery for coffee and croissants before exploring the estate’s gardens and charming historic water mill with head baker Ricardo, introducing the importance of milling in the baking of wholesome bread.

From ancient mill stones to the estate’s water mill, we invite you into the bakery with its wood-fired oven and an overview of fermentation and the sourdough method, while trying your hand at shaping a loaf and tasting a variety of breads.

Learn about important aspects on bread and health as well as practical aspects on evaluating bread, using it optimally and storing it like a professional chef.

Enjoy a laid-back lunch while your sourdough loaf is baking and go home enriched with a new appreciation for artisanal bread making – and a special gift bag containing a your freshly baked sourdough loaf, a bottle of La Motte wine as well as the book, The Cultured Loaf, by Markus Farbinger.
