Never mind, if you want to get a good luxury vacation and fuse it with learning to cook , culinary vacations is just what you need.

Taking into account that besides the lessons themselves you will luxuriate in the most  comfortable hotels in picturesque places we are sure that culinary vacations will be your beloved pastime.
 Due to the fact that the  price of such a culinary vacation is rather high,  number of  culinary  vacation providing companies is very small. But those who do (like International Kitchen , Classic Journeys) provide the best possible culinary vacation for  clients. The program of a culinary vacation usually includes  meeting with  the chefs, walking  the paths, and sample the foods that will make up  the unique and unforgettable cooking vacation of even the most whimsical person.

The maximum class size depends on the size of the kitchen where your lessons are held, but never exceed 14. It is done in order to ensure a high-quality, hands-on experience as well as particular attention to each of the ?student?.   Lessons usually last around three hours and feature a complete menu, with the meal and wine to follow. You may choose both a morning class (from 11AM to 2PM )or an evening class (from 6PM to 9PM). The hands-on and demonstration lesson will be followed by a gourmet meal on the terrace overlooking the sea, in the spacious garden surrounded by lemon trees and flowers. The culinary vacation is an unforgettable life  experience, and the thing is not only in your obtaining knowledge how to cook.  Good culinary vacation  combines  the cooking class with the culture, traditions, habits and customs from which the cuisine has evolved, otherwise it is just impossible to catch the ?soul? of the meal as well as the soul of the nation.

And of course, wines.
