About this experience

This workshop invites you to explore two unique approaches to floral embroidery — stitching over a hand-painted watercolour canvas or creating a golden botanical silhouette. Both styles combine simple, beautiful stitches with delicate beadwork, allowing beginners to achieve professional-looking results. Set in an intimate garden close to the vineyards, the experience blends creativity with the relaxing atmosphere of nature. Guided by an expert artisan, you’ll work with high-quality threads, Japanese Miyuki beads, and miniature sequins, then frame your finished piece in a complimentary embroidery hoop to take home. The session ends with a tasting of local wines and a light buffet, making it as much a sensory pleasure as an artistic one.
