Culinary Institute of America’s new high-end getaways
The Culinary Institute of America’s new culinary getaway program, “The Sophisticated Palate,” was launched this summer, combining travel, wine and food. Trips cost about $4,000 for four days, plus accommodations.
A trip to California’s Napa Valley includes visiting a wine cave with local vintners, savoring the first oil pressed at an olive grove, and tasting fresh-picked veggies from a farm, then having a barbecue at a local ranch.
The Napa trip is being offered Oct. 23-26, Feb. 12-15; April 1-4; June 10-13; Aug. 5-8; and Nov. 11-14, 2007.
Other trips are being offered to Spain and Portugal, Nov. 13-16; Jan. 15-18; July 15-18; and Oct. 14-17, and to Southeast Asia, Dec. 4-7; March 4-7; May 6-9; Sept. 9-12; and Dec. 9-12, 2007.
