Our cooking program is "All Inclusive" which includes seven night's accommodation at Il Rifugio, cooking classes (including guest chefs), special excursions (that include lunch and supper), and all meals and house wine with the exception of leisure time. Air fare is not included in our "All Inclusive" package. Cooking classes are limited to eight participants. The classes are small enough to accommodate cooks of all levels and ideal for small groups of family and friends.
