We welcome our students, friends and guests to join us for a week-long (7 days / 6 nights) food, wine and cultural immersion in the heart of culinary Mexico, Oaxaca. Our location is close to Oaxaca city, a beautiful location, full of things to see and explore with so much history and culture.

All our guests will be staying together in an authentic Mexican hacienda, close to the town of Oaxaca city. Day trips will include market visits and shopping for ingredients. With Chris leading several cooking classes throughout the week, we will also have a cooking class on location to learn other authentic recipes together.

Oaxaca is famous for so many different foods and we will try and learn so many wonderful things together – some of the most notable include: chocolate, Oaxaca cheesemezcal and grasshoppers (chapulines) with dishes such as tlayudas, Oaxacan style tamales and seven notable varieties of mole sauce – to name a few!

Our last evening together, we will enjoy discussing what we have learned, fallen in love with and what we will take home from our experiences. Let’s enjoy our last taste of Oaxaca together with new friends and recipes!

Getting into Oaxaca / arrival to our location – closest and easiest is to fly into Oaxaca airport – I have found some flights through Dallas that are very reasonably priced.

You might plan to visit other areas of Mexico before or after your week with us while you are there. More information and assistance will be provided to guests confirmed for the program. We also are happy to suggest a couple options for a travel agent if anyone is interested.
