Launching: Château Recipes

Welcome to the debut recipe from Château de Riolas — a lovingly restored 19th-century estate in the heart of Southwest France. We’re delighted to share one of our most requested house specialties: our signature Château Granola. This wholesome, artisanal blend has become a guest favorite, served each morning in our sunlit dining room overlooking centuries-old oaks.

Crafted with toasted oats, honey from local hives, roasted nuts, and dried Gascon fruits, it captures the soul of our region — rustic, refined, and deliciously nourishing. Whether enjoyed with farm-fresh yogurt or sprinkled over stewed prunes and cream, it’s a taste of the good life at Riolas.

This recipe marks the beginning of our seasonal cookbook series, where we celebrate the flavors of Gascony with elegance and simplicity. Follow along here and on Instagram @chateauderiolas for more refined country recipes inspired by our table, our garden, and our guests.

Bon appétit!
