Atelier transformation Almonds Nougat by a producer

About this tour

Spend two hours at a working almond farm in Provence learning to make nougat from scratch. Your host walks you through the orchard first, explaining how organic practices and thoughtful land stewardship—from honeybees to bat boxes—sustain both the crops and local wildlife. Then you'll move to the kitchen to craft your own batch, tasting fresh almonds and finished nougat with seasonal tea or infusion. A hands-on introduction to Provençal food culture rooted in the land itself.

Highlights

• Tour organic almond orchard with biodiversity features
• Hand-make nougat from local almonds
• Taste warm or chilled infusion paired with fresh almond
• Learn Provençal agricultural heritage and landscape impact
• Take home your own nougat batch

What to expect

You'll begin outside in the almond grove, where your producer-host will show you the trees and explain the environmental practices that keep the soil and ecosystem healthy. You'll notice the hives, bird boxes, and bat boxes dotted across the property—all part of maintaining a working farm that feeds itself and the community around it. Then you'll move indoors to the kitchen workspace and get stuck into nougat-making. The process is straightforward but requires attention; you'll understand why the best nougat comes from careful technique and quality ingredients. Afterwards, sit down to taste your creation alongside plain roasted almonds and a warm or cold infusion, depending on the weather.
