Immersive experience of culinary traditions

The best way to understand and experience one destination’s traditions is through cooking. But a cooking class is a step to a journey that goes beyond – they offer taste of culture and a dash of adventure. Picture yourself surrounded by an olive grove in a charming cooking studio, in company with (maybe even some newfound?) friends where a local chef guides you through a preparation of local specialties. The Croatian attractions recently released delicious new cooking classes held in Istria region.
