After the three-course lunch on Saturday, we'll visit a producer (weather permitting) for a behind-the-scenes perspective. On Sunday, the class concludes after lunch to allow plenty of time for travel home. Cost is $350 per person (Cdn $) plus 13% tax. Maximum 16 students. NB: a special package can be arranged with two nights accommodation at one of Niagara-on-the-Lakes premiere inns. Call for details 905-468-8304.
