The Laurel Hotel & Spa and 1856 – Culinary Residence is now offering a unique, multiple day epicurean experience. The Epicurean Experience is the ultimate package of specially curated moments to immerse yourself in the world of food, wine and mixology. Join world renowned chefs for a cooking demonstration and lunch in the Tony & Libba Rane Culinary Science Center, wine education and tastings from visiting wine makers and guest sommeliers, and our own Master Sommelier, Thomas Price. Our first night together will feature an intimate reception with our visiting chefs in our spectacular gardens at Walt's On The Roof. The second night features a seven to nine course tasting menu with wine pairings at 1856 – Culinary Residence. The itinerary is filled with education, enjoyment and of course, exceptional food. No time spent at The Laurel Hotel & Spa would be complete without relaxation. The schedule allows time for booking spa treatments, enjoying the rooftop poolside cabanas, or taking in the sights and shopping of Downtown Auburn. Enjoy a beautiful farewell brunch in The Library before returning home filled with great memories.
