and cheese-makers, hands-on cookery lessons, relaxation enjoying
the wonderful food and wines and culture of the region. The choice
is yours! - Programmes can be offered from just 2 to
50 persons. Smaller groups ( up to 16 persons
) can enjoy exclusive opportunities for some hands-on cookery,
as well as visits to local markets choosing the ingredients for
the dishes you are going to prepare. We hope the following itineraries
give you some ideas !
"Roger is a superb guide, very knowlegeable and very relaxing to be with. He took us to all sorts of places that we'd never have found on our own and with first class welcomes and tours. The sherry bodega and Iberian ham place were my favourites. Hotel was most unusual and very relaxing" J. Froomberg 2005
