Canadian Wine Country    

Culinary Vacations & Cooking Classes in the heart of Canada's wine country.The Wine Country Cooking School - located within Strewn, an estate winery minutes from the beautiful town of Niagara-on-the-Lake - is a unique culinary experience for recreational cooks. As Canada's first winery cooking school, we are focused on the relationship between food and wine. But we're equally excited about the abundance of fresh products grown in the region and showcase them in recipes and menus that reflect the seasons.
Every weekend from January until the end of November, we offer hands-on cooking classes designed to tempt your palate while increasing your culinary knowledge and appreciation of the relationship between food and wine.

Mexican Cuisine    

Participants are based in the picturesque village of Tepoztlán, an hour's drive from Mexico City, where they enjoy luxury accommodations at one of the following: the grand Posada del Tepozteco, whose terraced gardens overlook the cobbled streets and open-air market for which the town is justly famous, Las Golondrinas, an intimate country B & B down in the valley, or Casa Bugambilia, a small, lush resort on the edge of town, with sweeping views of the mountains. Following a sunset reception at the Posada and a morning market orientation the next day, they prepare five full menus - one for each day of the week - that form a veritable encyclopedia of Mexican cooking. They cook each morning in a beautifully appointed local kitchen, feast each afternoon on their own work, and spend the afternoons and evenings in a rich array of leisure and cultural activities. There is plenty of free time to take in the natural beauty of the surroundings, as well as to visit local homes where we sample the fare of other cooks. Each Cocinar Mexicano workshop includes a day of curated dining and culinary sightseeing in Mexico City, with meals at our affiliated restaurants and a Q & A with the chefs. Our base in Mexico City is the splendid JW Marriott, one of country's top-rated hotels.
