Our program for Chef Tours expands the experiences offered in the Adult and Student Tours. We arrange the cooking classes, the product focus tours, the winery visits, but we also arrange time for our professional chefs to interface with professional chefs from the regions that we are visiting. This is an opportunity to exchange ideas mutually and to build your own network for your future needs.
