Read MoreFrance is a foodie’s dream. Around every corner you’ll find open-air markets, patisseries, boulangeries, bakeries, and of course, world-class wine shops.
Come fall in love with this fascinating land through an unforgettable French cooking vacation with its two most essential ingredients: food and wine.
Couched between Provence, the Midi-Pyrénées, and Spain’s Catalonia, Languedoc cuisine is incredibly varied, and it is home to some of France’s most iconic dishes (such as cassoulet!). From the mountainous Haut Languedoc with its use of pork and duck, to the plains of the Bas Languedoc with its fish and seafood dishes, the region’s gastronomy offers everything a culinary traveler could want. Add to that the region’s wines, which have been steadily growing in reputation, the medieval towns and cathedrals, the open air markets, the Roman ruins, and of course the amazing produce, and you have the stuff dreams are made of.
With a food writer and cookbook author as your guide and cooking class instructor, discover the vibrant and ruggedly beautiful region of the Languedoc. The culinary tour is the perfect balance of artisan visits to local producers, wine tastings, and hands-on cooking classes that focus on the region’s rustic cuisine. Another trip highlight is a cruise down the famous Canal du Midi.
