French Cooking at the Castle
Active Gourmet Holidays brings you an incredible cooking vacation in the southwest of France. You will take cooking classes with a native French chef. Through artisan and market visits you will explore the Périgord region of France known for its cuisine, wine and truffles. You will be taken to see ancient cave dwellings dating from 20,000 B.C. and you will explore medieval villages. And if that is not enough, you will have the unique experience of staying in an authentic fortified medieval castle. And of course since this is a culinary extravaganza, you will dine on delectable cuisine and fine regional wines in the same space where knights, lords and maidens broke bread and shared meals together. This is an experience not to be missed! The Treasures of Naxos
So you have always wanted to visit Greece? Why not explore a less popular spot to experience authentic Greece? Naxos is a fertile island belonging to the Cyclades chain. While in Greece, you can easily visit other islands, but we promise you will be delighted with this treasure of an island known for its cheese, olive oil, warm people and hospitality. You will stay in a lovely renovated boutique hotel where you will enjoy a homemade breakfast each morning.

THE FLAVOURS OF TUSCANY "Dear Jo-Ann - We just had the most amazing week. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We are already planning a "make your own pasta party" at our house to introduce friends to the very unique flavours we tried and made! Jo-Ann, the others who came through Active Gourmet - Ed, Cathy and Kelly were all very complimentary about the service they had received from you, as were we. I was hugely impressed with your immediate attention to every detail and I will certainly recommend friends to your website if they are considering similar trips to ours." - Joneen and Ray S., Auckland, New Zealand |
