Renowned chefs, wine educators, nutritionists and even anthropologists will discuss what it means to grow, cook and enjoy food in many cultures, moving beyond the traditional European focus. This is no Tex-Mex border food but the real thing in all its scrumptious permutations. Call to set up group and individual lessons to suit student needs and interests. Three times yearly the Mondavi Winery provides a great deal more than a cooking class. Definitely a lavish affair.
Price includes lodging.
