Hands in the Kitchen: Alentejo
Distinct from a broader food-and-wine tour, this trip puts a group of eight to twelve to work in the kitchen itself. Two cooking classes anchor the week, bookended by a market visit with a chef and a producer visit, and closing with a meal the group cooks and hosts together.
