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

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