Who as a food lover has not been tempted by the famous live-in cooking schools of Italy and the south of France? Well now be tempted by George's.

George's has been conceived to create a unique Australian version of the live-in cooking schools so popular internationally. In recognizing Australia's maturing culinary appreciation and skill as well as the magnificent offerings of local produce George's provides insightful and fun cooking experiences to intimate groups over three days. George's is about kick starting the beginners life long food and wine appreciation journey and adding depth to the knowledge and experience of those who are already on it.

When establishing George's only one location in all of Australia was considered perfect. Atop Arthur's Seat over looking Port Phillip Bay and in the middle of the prestigious Mornington Peninsula wine region George's is just over an hours drive from the Melbourne GPO. Surrounded by art galleries, walking tracks, bird watching sites, natural mineral spas, world renowned golf courses, a host of marine activities and loads of magnificent fresh produce George's simply works

When not hosting cooking schools George's provides luxurious boutique B&B accommodation for the many visitors to this iconic travel destination. Architecturally designed suites, immaculately prepared breakfasts, local art lined walls, spectacular bay views and proximity to the many local attractions and activities make George's the accommodation venue of choice.
