Bravo for todays traveler! No longer are peo-ple wlln to be anonymos oyaers, onfrom one cty to another, checn nto hotelswhere they are nnown, somemes not eenery welcomed. Today there are choces ofmch more meannfl ways to trael, and oneof the most poplar has become coon aca-ons.

These are not trps where yo spend all day

n the tchen, bt, rather, an opportnty tospend me wth the local people sharn n themost mportant acty of ther day; breanbread, ean a home cooed meal made wththe best local nredents, accompaned by awonderful regional wine. What could be bet-ter?

in a wee-lon trp there wold be for handson classes of 2-3 hors each, followed by eat-n the meal, of corse, drnn a ood wne.

in temperate weather, meals are always ot-doors, so mane sn at a table wth yorfellow classmates, now ood frends, ean,drnn, taln, lahn, all the whle sr-ronded by stas of neyards or ole roesor views of the sea. This is what dreams aremade of and yo are experencn the dream.

The experences are almost always set n thecontry, away from the crowds and the hb-bb of the ces. Lfe s a derent pace and

cae way of lfe. Bt, yo mht hae to do alle wor as well. There are marets to shopfor nredents for the classes, food arsans tomeet and sample perhaps some homemadecheeses, neyards and wneres to st, for,of corse, yo mst taste the arees of local

wnes. And let s not forot some cltral stevisits in the area as well.

And, n the contry accommodaons arealso derent. They are always n ancent strc-tres, aled for ther ntrnsc hstory as wellas a wonderfl posonn, perhaps perchedhh on a hll wth stas of snowers, or nerdant ardens or neyards, or nestled alonthe sea wth water ews eerywhere.

Does ths mae yor moth water yet? Well,

thn abot coon wth the best and freshestlocal nredents, somemes st steps away atthe arden of the property. And these are notclasses that teach yo to coo. Of corse, eerychef or coo has ther own personal trcs ormethods and they pass those alon, bt, reallyyo are learnn the csne of the reon andwhat maes a parclar reon nqe fromthe one next door. Yo also drn the localwne, made from rapes that can be ery df-

ferent from those a few lometers away.

Ths s an edcaon and a cltral exper-

ence. The frosn on the cae are the coo-n classes and the recpes that yo wll taehome wth yo to reprodce and mpressyor frends and famly. Bt the real treasreof these trps s the athenc, personal anddelhl experence of spendn a wee wththe local people and for a short me ben apart of the life.
