Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons: An Unforgettable Spring Garden Experience
Introduction
Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, England, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is a Belmond Hotel renowned for its exquisite gardens, Michelin-starred cuisine, and exceptional hospitality. In April 2023, we had the privilege of hosting an exclusive event at Le Manoir, where guests were treated to a captivating garden tour, cooking demonstration, champagne reception, and a lavish four-course lunch.
A Walk Through the Gardens
Upon arriving at Le Manoir, we were greeted with a warm welcome and escorted to the breathtaking gardens. Accompanied by one of Le Manoir’s senior garden team, we embarked on a tour of the 11 enchanting gardens, each with its own unique character and charm.
From the vibrant herbaceous borders to the tranquil Japanese garden, the gardens of Le Manoir are a testament to the art of horticulture. We learned about the meticulous care and attention that goes into maintaining these magnificent landscapes, and we were captivated by the stunning array of flowers, shrubs, and trees.
A Culinary Masterclass
After our garden tour, we made our way to the state-of-the-art kitchen for a cooking demonstration led by Le Manoir’s talented chefs. We watched in awe as they prepared a mouthwatering dish, sharing their culinary secrets and techniques.
The passion and dedication of the chefs was evident in every step they took, and we left the demonstration feeling inspired and eager to try out the recipes at home.
A Lavish Lunch
Following the cooking demonstration, we were invited to a four-course lunch in Le Manoir’s elegant dining room. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The Michelin-starred cuisine was a true culinary masterpiece, and we savored every bite.

Throughout our experience at Le Manoir, we were treated to impeccable service and hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcome and special. From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and genuine care.
