11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join Chef Jacques Haeringer and treat your mom or your special someone to a lively culinary demonstration and luncheon on Saturday, May 8th, 2026 at 11:00am.
Start your very special day honoring your mothers by sipping chilled Henri Champliau Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé while watching Chef Jacques demonstrate a selection of his very special recipes “on set” that you will surely enjoy.
Continue the Mother’s Day celebration with Chef Jacques’ Five-course “Menu du Jour” in honor of all mom’s, paired with fine wines (and bubbles, but of course!) chosen by our sommelier, Alex Bardsley.
The pièce de resistance: our French Chocolate Soufflé to round out a celebratory day. This culinary demonstration hits the spot and makes the perfect gourmet gift. Come and join us and celebrate Mom or your someone special this Mother’s Day at L’Auberge Chez François!
Your Mother’s Day at L’Auberge Chez Francois with Chef Jacques includes his always lively cooking demonstration (while sipping our featured chilled Crémant), specially paired wines, written recipes for the Home Chef, and, perhaps, a special giveaway or two!
Add specially priced wines featured in our Mother’s Day Cooking Demo and Luncheon Experience: What a great way to celebrate with us and Mom or someone special in your life!
Happy Mother’s Day! We love Mom’s!
