If you’re as passionate about food and wine as you are about travel then why not try an AITO specialist’s gastronomy holiday. Get stuck in with a hands-on cookery trip, or indulge yourself at a luxurious hotel, famous for its fine cuisine. If wine tasting gets your taste buds excited, choose a wine cruise from Venice to Dubrovnik on a luxury super-yacht or sample the best in New World wines on a tour of New Zealand, California or Chile. 

• Learn how to cook and get a tan! Master your favourite curries, dals, rices and vegetarian dishes, and how to select the best produce in the beautiful Indian province of Goa
• Enjoy valentines weekend sipping champagne in champagne, or take a light walk through the classic vineyards of burgundy, tasting along the way
• Spend your mornings picking up cookery secrets from a greek master and your evenings at traditional tavernas on the little South Dodecanese, Greek island of Symi
• Stay on an historical, working wine estate in the heart of the South African winelands in the Jonkershoek Valley, surrounded by the spectacular Helderberg Mountains
• Perfect your tarte tatin and get behind the scenes of a real hotel kitchen with a cookery short break in Normandy, famous for its camembert cheese and calvados brandy

Many operators are flexible and are happy to offer tour-only prices if you wish to make your own flight or accommodation arrangements. Some also offer extended trips and add-ons if you are interested in taking a longer holiday. Generally the cookery courses do not require any experience, just a love of food and a willingness to learn.
