I think we're all in love with PROVENCE, but for a wide variety of reasons.  For food-lovers, it's the abundance of natural products available; for others the natural beauty of the area, and yet for others, the rich cultural heritage.  In our week, we'll experience Provence through all of these venues.

We'll spend our week with delightful Provencal host exploring the BEST that this rich region has to offer, through its artisan producers - wines, cheese, oil, honey,  plus the rich cultural history of the area.  We'll explore the countryside, visit markets, have hands-on cooking classes, dine in charming bistros and private French farmhouses, as well as meeting local artisan producers.

We'll rendezvous in Avignon, with private van transfer to our luxurious accommodations in  the famously beautiful Luberon region. 

Truly a week in culinary paradise.
