Fuel Your Passion For Cooking and Culture on a Cooking Vacation to Poland
Even the most discriminating world travelers marvel at the rich culture and hospitality of Poland, the seventh largest country in Europe. Poland's diverse topography includes 328 miles (528 km) of Baltic seacoast, one of only five deserts in Europe, four lake districts, broad ice-age river valleys, and one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth.
At Poland Culinary Vacations, we offer customized, intimate cooking vacations throughout the various regions of Poland. We combine elements of rural tourism—known locally as "agrotourism"—with a satisfying, slow-vacation approach. You'll enjoy hands-on and demonstration-style cooking lessons in Polish farm homes and acclaimed urban restaurants. In the evenings, you'll retire to the casual elegance and historic wonder of a castle or palace during the agricultural portion of our trip. Refined hotel accommodations await you while we're exploring the cities of Poland.
Come with us to Poland for a truly amazing vacation experience!
Along the way we'll:
Cook traditional recipes in Polish homes with local women
Visit neighborhood markets and Polish food festivals
Sample rare delicacies from local artisan producers and family farms: breads, cheeses, preserves, sausages, wild game dishes, beer, honey wines, and world-renowned vodkas
Go blueberry and mushroom hunting

We're Excited to Announce the Launch of Our Newest Cooking Vacation for 2010:
"If I had to pick a highlight I couldn't, I'd pick three. The three mornings we spent cooking with the country housewives were great. From the food to the nalewki it was great. There was plenty of wonderful food - especially borscht and croquettes. But, the highlight was being in those kitchens, working as a group, then sitting down to a great lunch you had a hand in making. If you're lucky there will be singing - and you will probably be lucky." - Jim B., Minneapolis, MN
