Brittany, France in Spring: Butter, Salt & the Coast

Spring in Brittany is shaped by wind, salt, and milk. Butter is salted with intention, dairy is pristine, and food is built around restraint rather than embellishment.

This class dives into Brittany’s singular food culture — exceptional butter, fresh cheeses, simple breads, and pairings that highlight salinity and balance. We’ll explore why Brittany remains one of Europe’s great dairy regions, how salt functions as structure rather than seasoning, and why simplicity here feels so complete.

This is a class about butter as a destination — and the quiet confidence of food that doesn’t need improvement.

Each Global Spring Series class includes:

• A guided wine flight;
• Four paired small bites featuring regional cheeses, accoutrements, and familiar winter snacks;
• A rich, educational tour of the city’s culinary traditions led through immersive storytelling from our Wedgewood cheese and wine experts;
• A take-home guide that blends recipes, cultural context, and historical influences; and
• Access to limited and seasonal wine and cheese selections curated specifically for that spring destination.
