 Chateau Chantal is a 65-acre estate located on the Old Mission Peninsula in one of the most scenic areas of the Great Lakes. With its winding roads, vineyards, and breathtaking views you can easily imagine yourself on another continent. From award winning wines to hands-on cooking lessons Chateau Chantal offers the perfect culinary getaway that's close to home but a world away.
Epiculinary invites you to join us
for a glorious weekend of wine and food, fresh air and good company
at the Chateau Chantal. For two full days you will be immersed in
the art of winemaking and cooking while soaking up the beautiful
scenery of Old Mission Peninsula. You will learn first hand the
art of growing grapes along the 45th parallel (the same as Bordeaux!)
Then you'll spend a day in the kitchen learning new techniques,
recipes and insights into creating exceptional dishes.
The bed & breakfast at Chantal offers an ambiance unlike any other in the Midwest. Its eight suites, two standard units, and executive apartment each include a private bath, modern amenities, the coziness of a secluded retreat, a full breakfast, and access to the chateau's great room, fireplace and tasting bar.
