The Olson's Cooking Adventure
France · May 25 – June 1, 2025
Hosted by Anna & Michael Olson
About This Journey
An immersive culinary experience in the beautiful French countryside around Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nestled between Lyon and Avignon, guests became locals for a week in the town of La Garde-Adhémar.
Sightseeing, wine tastings, market tours, cooking classes, and cooking together were the ingredients of this unforgettable French travel recipe.
This tour was unlike any other — with more time to shop and cook together, while also appreciating the villages and countryside nearby.
