A 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 July, local seasonal products include cherries (both sweet and sour), blueberries, raspberries, summer squash, field greens, apricots, maple, honey, nuts, greenhouse coloured peppers 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.
