Cooking schools in Italy are more of a destination
than a stop on the itinerary, one of the most popular
being Tuscookany. Offering three-day courses and five-
day courses, at this cooking school, students learn to
prepare Italian or Mediterranean dishes while living in a
picturesque villa in the countryside of Tuscany.
All-inclusive packages are priced per person, and travel-
ers who do not wish to participate in classes pay a reduced
rate to relax by the villa pool, have a massage, hike or golf
the days away.
Cooking season runs from April to November and pack-
ages start at about $2,000 per participant.
