David McKown, director of the competition, said: “The tour was packed with great learning and everyone had a fantastic experience.”
In addition to exploring the culinary sights of the city the team spent a day in the countryside visiting two vineyards with ‘Inter Beaujolais’, the visits included an overview of the wine making process with tastings. On the final night the team had a behind the scenes tour of the legendary Paul Bocuse Restaurant with Dinner.
