Packaged adventures

These learning holidays are designed for people who want to join a small group (maximum 10 people) to enjoy good food and drink and find out where it comes from and how it’s produced. Hands-on activities like picking olives and cooking lessons give you a real feel for the ingredients and cuisine. You are welcomed into the ‘laboratories’ and homes of small artisanal producers eager to show you how traditional foods have been made for centuries or how they have introduced new technology without compromising the end result. Meals in family restaurants are times to relax and savour the fruits of the season and how the locals use them. The adventures are spiced with liberal sprinklings of shopping, walks, music, art, gardens and architecture. Adventures for families include special activities for children.
