Culinary Vacations

About Our Culinary Vacations

Travel the world with the Laguna Culinary Arts travel team!

Laguna Culinary Arts Logo

We are much more than a California Cooking School. Our travel division, Laguna Culinary Arts Adventures, specializes in culinary vacations leading small, personalized group travel experiences. Our destinations include selected locations throughout France, Italy and Spain, as well as the California and Oregon wine countries. We plan to expand our culinary vacations offerings to other domestic and international destinations that meet our criteria for good food & wine, an interesting cultural experience and a beautiful place to be! At each location, we delve into the unique culture of the region, where the food and wine is part of the fabric of the local life. Each culinary vacation trip offers a balance of culinary delights, historical and cultural activities and outdoor activities for our guests to enjoy.

Welcome to Perigord

In order to ensure the best possible culinary vacation experience for our guests, we do all the trip research ourselves. We strive to find charming but high-quality accommodations in each location, indicative of the local culture. From an 18th century grand chateau in the Dordogne Valley of France, an ancient villa set in the middle of the Tuscan countryside in Italy, or a quaint wine country inn in Sonoma Valley, California, our goal is to select properties where our guests have the run of the place and feel at home. Our culinary vacations visit local producers that may not otherwise be accessible to the public, and we seek out the most charming yet representative villages, markets, and points of local interest.

Located in Laguna Beach, convenient to Los Angeles and San Diego, we are known as the premiere California Cooking School. If you like our culinary vacations, you are sure to love our Team Building Cooking Classes. Please Contact Us for more information on our culinary vacations, or any of our other classes.
