Culinary Vacation in Niagara Wine Country **Space for 8 People**(5-day hands-on culinary vacation)

An absolutely wonderful experience combining cooking, eating and drinking! It all takes place at Canada's only winery cooking school. The five-day (Monday - Friday) program includes a daily hands-on cooking class, three-course lunch, producer and market visits, wine tastings with the winemaker, tips on food & wine pairings, and dinner Wednesday night at one of the region's top restaurants. After class, there is ample free time to explore the region, and take in the theatre, history and sights. In August, local seasonal products include apricots, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, plums, maple, honey, nuts, field grees and tomatoes. Our Culinary Vacation in Niagara Wine Country is available on its own or with accommodation in Niagara-on-the-Lake at the lovely Harbour House Hotel, Shaw Club Hotel and Riverbend Inn. Cost (without accommodation) is $1,175 (Cdn$) plus 13% tax. Please contact us for accommodation availability and costs - we receive special rates at the three properties listed above. Note: registration for this class is limited to eight people to provide maximum in-class attention.

"The Farmers Market" Culinary Weekend **Space for 8 People**(2-day hands-on class)

In August, it's hard to keep up with the sheer abundance of foods available from Niagara's orchards and fields. Each day you will prepare a three-course menu (matched with wine!) featuring fresh seasonal items from the local markets and roadside stands near the School. If you want to come early on Saturday, you can help 'forage' at our local farmer's market. 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.
