Wine holidays/ cooking holidays/ language holidays

When you choose your next holiday in Italy why not indulge in your passion for the gastronomic pleasures of this diverse country? A cookery course is the perfect way to enjoy a fabulous experience learning how to cook your favourite Italian dish as well as exploring local markets and vineyards. Our Italian cooking holiday has been designed to share our love for Italian cuisine in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Set in Puglia, one of the most unspoilt areas of Italy, our cookery courses are easy to follow, creative and fun. During our cooking classes based in Ostuni, a medieval hilltop village, you can participate in the preparation of wonderfully authentic Italian food or simply sit back, relax and sip on a glass of wine while food is prepared in front of you.
Our cookery courses also include a day trip to Lecce, a visit to a winery or an oil mill where you will learn more about the ancient art of making wine and extra virgin olive oil and a wine tasting evening. Your free time will give you a chance to sit in the local cafe’ and watch the locals, go for a swim in the Adriatic crystal water or play golf in the nearby golf courses (San Domenico & Torre Coccaro).
Our cooking holidays are an affordable and exciting way to experience the Italian culture, food, wine and convivial company. The maximum group size of our Italian cookery courses is 6, therefore each participant enjoys personalised attention and gets the most out of every cooking session and excursion. It is possible to combine cooking and Italian language lessons.
